Mademoiselle Privé, a new exhibit "capturing the charismatic personality and irreverent spirit of Mademoiselle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld", has opened at London's Saatchi Gallery and will run until November 1. The exhibit features a No. 5 laboratory:
The room representing Chanel No 5 is a vast space in which futuristic, gold-lidded wells containing each of the perfume’s individual ingredients, such as jasmine and May rose, spring open in turn so that the room is filled with an ever-changing cocktail of scent. It is a heady experience.
The exhibit is open 7 days a week, 10 am through 6 pm; admission is free. For more information, see the exhibit's dedicated website.

This sounds wonderful, and it’s free! I’m going to London to visit the Barbara Hepworth exhibition at Tate Modern, so will try to squeeze this in too, as well as some perfume sniffing too!
Oh fun!! Let us know if that room smells fantastic.
I am so jealous!!! Enjoy!!!
