Discover an exceptional cultural heritage: perfume!
A unique institution, the Osmothèque Conservatoire International des Parfums, has been preserving and supporting unique collections in Versailles for more than 30 years: more than 5,000 perfumes, 850 of which have disappeared from commercial channels.
For this day, more than fifteen perfumers «nose» or experts will be present to make you discover olfactory treasures (perfumes, raw materials, etc.) of the heritage of the perfumery from the collections of the Conservatoire. Our Institution offers for this event a one-hour guided tour through different poles. These tours take place all day with a start every 15 minutes:
• Welcome in the showroom of the Osmothèque, presentation of the Conservatory, its history, its roles and its missions.
• Room 1 - Perfume and Royal Courts in Versailles : The other capital of perfumery
• Room 2 - Perfume and Chemistry : The advent of modern perfumery
• Room 3 - Perfume and Couture A successful marriage for a century!
Find also: fun animations, a bookstore, a presentation of perfume bottles and old advertisements.
