​LES ROUTES DU PARFUM

The PROGRAM

LES ROUTES DU PARFUM

Why the JOURNEY of perfume is important

We will accomplish this with 5 important programs:
The history of perfume is an important and vital part of the history of human cultures and the development of societies world-wide.
​All ancient cultures had their own perfume heritage and each region of the world developed its own unique uses of perfumes and other fragrant products for a variety of purposes including spiritual, well-being, and therapeutic usage. With the expansion of sea travel, fragrance products helped create trade pathways between ancient production areas and eager markets in Europe and later in North America.
​These perfume trade routes resulted in not just the exchange of products but also an exchange of cultures which broadened each area’s culture, appreciation for art and beauty while expanding world-views and generally promoting peace between the trading areas.


In other words, the trade and introduction of these wonderfully fragrant products created a tremendous impact on the cultures of the countries receiving them which still exists even today and helped the producing countries through the expansion of commerce. Tragically today, many of these original perfume producing areas and their invaluable knowledge and of fragrance usage have been lost to us.


The International Perfume Foundation is committed to restoring and promoting the authentic heritage of perfume and its history in cultures of countries and regions insuring that this heritage will be respected and appreciated around the world. 
​


LES ROUTES DU PARFUM DOCUMENTARIES

Les Routes du Parfum (translation: Perfume’s Journeys) will be a series of 12 documentaries each detailing a journey from one ancient source of perfume production to awaiting markets around the world, telling the incredible stories of the impact of these journeys and showing unknown areas in the world where the last tribes are still using fragrances for healing purposes.



LES ROUTES DU PARFUM BOOKS

We will publish a series of books on the history of human culture through the history of perfume. Perfume storytelling is a beautiful way to discover our important heritage and the unique and fascinating ways various regions of the world developed and utilized these fragrant treasures.

Les Routes du Parfum books will document each of these regions and will also provide insights into magnificent places in the world that are still untouched. It will allow us to share with our members the beauty of nature and the steps The International Perfume Foundation is putting in place for preservation of this vital heritage.

CHILDREN's BOOKS

Children can preserve our memories for the future. If we don't succeed to pass them our history and heritage, we risk to losing it forever.

An effective way to engage them is to tell them stories. Children’s books taking a "Once upon a time .." approach will be an entertaining time machine not just to places where this important history occurred. Each book will connect these ancient places with their own country’s history and how this heritage relates to their lives in the here and now… all through the fabulous history and culture of perfume!


Les Routes du parfum Exhibitions

The International Perfume Foundation will be traveling to museums around the world with our Les Routes du Parfum Exhibitions to immerse visitors in a living experience through scents, time travel and breath-taking images leading to the discovery of the world perfume heritage.

We asked several famous film directors to submit projects for the exhibition design and realisation.
