I leave it to Chandler Burr, the curator of the
exhibition (who also authored the catalog), to present it at best: "You
will be able to take home the exhibition -or buy the exhibition
without coming to New York! The catalog contains a 5 ml vial
of 11 of the 12 olfactory masterpieces on display at the Exhibition,
plus a booklet of 11 essays on the art historical context of each of
the 11 works."
The scents presented in the catalog are:

The catalog retails for $ 250 and
there are only 1000 numbered copies. Maybe perfumistas already own
most or all of the fragrances featured in the catalog, but if you
have a dear one taking the first steps in the perfume world and want
to give her/him a TERRIFIC Christmas gift... you now know where to
start your search. Visit the online shop of the museum!
