Historic odours preserved at France's 'perfume library'

Since 1990, retired perfumer Yves Tanguy has held the keys to the "Osmotheque" scent library, set up near the Chateau de Versailles west of Paris as a repository of fragrances past and present. Duration: 02:20

M. Kerleo is a sort of olfactory curator; thanks to his inspired stewardship of classic perfumery, future generations will be able to experience many of the legendary scents of a bygone age. As an archaeologist, who has worked with ancient aromatic organic residues myself, I dream of one day making a “pilgrimage” to the celebrated Osmothèque.
