A day late, but this exhibit sounds fascinating.
Agree, would love to see it!
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 🙂
