L’Osmothèque

FRANCE, PARIS (VERSAILLES)

L’Osmothèque is a unique non-profit cultural institution created by perfumers in 1990. It preserves perfumery’s olfactory heritage and brings together a unique collection of fragrances that testify to the way techniques, know-how, fashion, and tastes have shaped perfumery through the ages.

L’Osmotheque carries out its activities independently and neutrally to serve everyone and forms a bridge between the industry striving for excellence and the world of culture.
