The exhibition, curated by Chiara Squarcina and Monica Magnani, presents a selection of 225 scent bottles divided into 10 thematic areas: Chronology, Toys, Souvenirs, Techniques, Nature, Love Tokens, Containers, Chatelaines, Tiny and Masterpieces, displayed on the basis of an original interpretation that reveals their intrinsic significance: not only as containers for scent but almost as a “manifestation” of a mood or feeling.
