Fragrance Museum Farina-House

Admire in the Duftmuseum (Fragrnce Museum) in Farina-House the almost 300 years old history of fragrance and culture starting with the world of Rococo. In the “Fragrance Chamber“ you can enter a perfumers’s world. If you like, you may soak up the scent of most diverse essences. Detailed descriptions – on the production of essences or the enfleurage process for example – give a vivid impression of a perfumer's work, creativity and indispensable gift.

The original cellar vaults where the scents were produced almost 300 years ago can be accessed via a staircase. A cedar wood barrel from the beginnings of the company has outlasted time. And a replica of a distillery similar to that Giovanni Maria Farina employed in the 18th century depicts the high art of distillation. Pictures show extracts of the development of perfume production during three centuries.
