The Museo del Traje (Costume Museum) in Madrid is hosting Roger & Gallet: the art of perfume from 1862 to today:
Over 250 unique pieces make up the exhibition entitled Roger & Gallet: the art of perfume from 1862 to the present-day. The collection not only tells the story of this mythical name from the world of perfume, but provides a look at the history of scent – and of Europe itself – from the nineteenth century to modern times. The starting date of the story is 1862, the year in which Armand Roger and Charles Gallet took over the brand that had been established in 1806 by Jean Marie Farina, a descendent of the original inventor of Eau de Cologne.
The exhibit runs through 3 October. (via hellomagazine)
Oh, I wish I could go! I live in Spain, but 4 hours driving distance of Madrid.
I would love to see it too…looks like they’ve got some really lovely old bottles.
Isa! Go ahead! I live in Buenos Aires and the only time I’ve been in Madrid was on a layover to Barcelona (where I spent 2 wonderful weeks in 2007)
I’d love to go! Why don´t you get a friend and a bus or train ticket and make it a “weekend in madrid” escapade? 🙂
