About the location

Osmothèque - Conservatoire International des Parfums

36 rue du Parc-de-Clagny 78000 Versailles

Yvelines
Île-de-France

The Osmothèque is the Conservatoire International des Parfums.
It is a place dedicated to the memory of perfumes that gathers and lists an exclusive collection of nearly 4000 perfumes, some of which are very old, disappeared from the commercial circuits, and which made the great hours of the history of perfumery.
The creation of the Osmothèque (from the Greek OSME-odor and THEQUE-rangement) was born from the original and innovative idea that perfumes disappeared or likely to disappear in one and the same place, where professionals and perfume lovers could rediscover fragrances they had loved or worn.
Since its opening in 1990, the Osmothèque has worked to create a unique collection in the world, an exceptional olfactory heritage that can be discovered in Versailles.
Its vocation is not only to preserve perfumes, but also to transmit knowledge that concerns the heritage of perfumery. Beginners, amateurs or professionals, all audiences are welcomed and invited to discover or rediscover l
