From Antiquity to Present Day Perfume Culture, Pasha Hammam, 2023

The exhibition showcased perfumes from historical periods ranging from the past to the present day, with recipes from Sumer, Assyria, Egypt, the Bronze Age, the Ottoman Empire, and Seljuk times. Visitors took the opportunity to experience fragrances such as Rhodium, a perfume from the ancient Roman era, and Kypi from ancient Egypt, a special mixture of 17th-century laundryman Yusuf Aga, who served at the Ottoman Palace. The exhibition also featured a replica of Tapputi's clay formula tablet, the world's first female chemist and perfumer.
