Nez à Nez: Contemporary Perfumers

Aug 25 – Oct 25, 2019
200 Hua Yuan Gang Lu, Huangpu Qu, Shanghai, China, 200231

Most of us have never come across a master perfumer. It is among the rarest of professions, with only 400 perfumers in the world. And what does it mean to create a “master” fragrance? In this unique exhibition, which examines the work of 13 perfumers, scents will be presented in specially designed spaces. There are no bottles or vessels. It’s interactive, with fans for dispersion and painted glass to soak up smells. Expect an olfactory experience (but don’t go if you have a stuffy nose). —E.C.
