The first floor – The heart

Visitors (especially women) will be amazed by the ancient costumes of Valle Vigezzo and jewels displayed at the entrance of the second room on first floor of Casa del Profumo. You will admire here silk dresses, Valencienne laces, handmade stockings, shoes with silver buckles, foulards, elegant hats, wide cashmere or silk shawls and precious jewels from transalpine countries: garnet necklaces, pins, rings and earrings.

FROM THE HEAD TO THE HEART

THE SECOND ROOM

The second room on the first floor of Casa del Profumo is called “The Heart” and it is furnished with modern fittings. You will enjoy an extraordinary experience: a multi-sensory approach to essences and fragrances.
Raw materials can be touched and smelled… new perfumes can be discovered, so to satisfy the sense of smell, which is the one that evokes directly our emotions and memories.

At the end of your visit to Casa del Profumo you will find the perfumer’s organ, presenting hundreds of essence samples used by perfumers to create their fragrances. This little laboratory is the heart of Casa del Profumo: it will host special workshops. Enjoy this fascinating experience and at the end of your visit try to create your own perfume… so to complete your journey into the world of perfumery.
