Paris and Perfume: The World of the Perfume Bottles (Flacon) in History

An exhibition is currently being held to look back historically at the deep relationship between Paris and perfume, by business category and brand.
Various perfume bottles, posters, and photographs of various forms from the mid-19th to the 21st century are on display, along with explanatory panels, and a perfume-sniffing corner. A map of Paris and the Place Vendôme area are also on display.
You can also appreciate the beauty of French perfume bottles, mainly by René Lalique in the lobby,
You will receive a special issue of Takasago Times no.193 featuring "Paris, City of Fragrance" and a postcard with the same design as the exhibition poster.

The gallery is open only on weekdays, which may pose difficulty for working individuals. 
To accommodate our valued visitors, we are extending our opening hours on the third Friday of each month. Please take advantage of this opportunity. During this time (17:30-19:00), a staff member will be present to assist and answer any inquiries you may have.
