The Museum of Perfume was founded in 1961 in order to exhibit an evolution of perfume vessels throughout the ages.

The Museum presents a wide collection of nearly 5000 essence and perfume vessels from different cultures and civilizations. The collection covers long historical periods ranging from Egyptian vases, Greek pottery, Roman and Punic glass, and Arabic and Eastern recipients, to an interesting collection of essence jars made of porcelain, crystal and noble materials, from the 17th to the 19th centuries.

There is also an outstanding exhibition of industrialized perfumery, from its beginnings to the present day.

The collection includes very special items such as a perfume box containing two essence recipients which belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette of France and a scent bottle called “Le Roi Soleil” designed by Salvador Dali, as well as many other unique pieces in the world of perfumery.
