Esxence - Meeting the Osmothéque
Last Saturday, friends of Bergamotto e Benzoino began the Esxence day with a meeting with Osmothéque. At 10.15 the conference room was ready to host Patricia de Nicolai , President of Osmothéque with her aide Letitia, and the bags full of precious masterpieces of the past, recreated by the technical team led by Jean Kérleo. Madame was really exquisite, a serene and smiling person who was able to convey all the passion for a precious, fully voluntary work, which consists in searching for old formulas, selecting raw materials which may also not be in use anymore, reconstructing formulas, storing in cells with constant temperature, and finally, enhancing the awareness on the conservation of our perfume heritage. The journey into the past was an articulated itinerary from the first popular fragrances in the world, to the first real perfumes containing synthetic molecules.
