A first sensory experience of antiquity based on scent

Posted by Robin on 30 May 2018 4 Comments

Three fragrances – rose, coriander and sage – were created for what museum officials are calling a first sensory experience of antiquity based on scent.

The archaeological experiment required 18 months of research, both in and outside the laboratory, said Korres, the Greek natural cosmetic firm tasked with reviving the “primordial, one-dimensional” perfumes.

    A day late, but this exhibit sounds fascinating.

    Sounds fantastic, but Dawn at DSH Perfumes already did this, recreating ancient Egyptian perfumes for the museum in Denver. They’re very interesting, I tried them when they came out. I think her 1,000 Lilies, which I own, was previously called Suschinon? Or something like that, in that collection.

      A number of people have done it, it’s true :-)
