From ritual incense and alchemical distillation to royal courts and modern laboratories, you’ll discover how perfume evolved from spiritual practice to scientific craft—and ultimately into the global luxury and mass-market industry we know today. This is not just a history lesson, but a sensory experience. Along the way, you are invited to engage your senses—smelling raw notes learning the fundamental principles behind perfume construction. The experience concludes with time to explore local and niche perfume brands, offering a deeper appreciation for Parisian perfumery and its roots through centuries of experimentation, symbolism, and desire.
