What you can expect

In anticipation of Valentine's Day, a special opportunity to discover the world of fragrances, learn more about their power over well-being and couple bonding, and find out about the latest research and trends in the art of perfumery. A unique journey among rare objects, aromas of the Orient, antique tools, and luxurious accessories, to tell a story of the senses, memory, and emotions.

We will explore the trades related to spices and essences: from those that have disappeared, such as the aromatario, with his secret recipes and curious remedies, to the “nose”, the contemporary master perfumer who creates fragrances capable of evoking memories and stories. We will learn to recognize the top, heart, and base notes by smelling precious ingredients such as cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, incense, turmeric, licorice, and much more.

Not just a visit, but a sensory and cultural experience in the heart of Turin: a journey through neighboring countries and distant lands, guided by scents, the senses, and memory.
