olfactory and multisensory exhibition

From matter to spirit

“Perfume is the spirit that conceives it, it is the spirit that composes it.
Material and immaterial, perfume as a transparent entity.
Impalpable, this body, this volatile soul is a messenger that comes to our receivers, our emotions, our memories, our memory.
Allegory of perfume, the spirit is this olfactory form in the air that we breathe, that we inhale, exhale and that lets us know that we are alive.”

Following a small Halo 3 during the cabinet of curiosity in St Etienne, we are offering a fourth halo of the exhibition “From matter to spirit” which will take place from Monday October 28 to Saturday November 2, 2024,

This ephemeral exhibition, imagined and designed by the Toulouse perfumer-creator Pierre Bénard, accompanied by other artists, will take shape at the GrandBazar.

Olfactory workshops for children on the theme “Does it smell like a ghost?” will be implemented during the week.An olfactory conference for adults “What does a ghost smell like?” will take place on Tuesday October 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

On Thursday October 31, 2024, we offer you a culinary event “From matter to spirit”: a taste and smell dinner imagined by Pierre Bénard, perfumer, Alex Melotto, cook & Karine Chouicha from Grandbazar.
