Olfactory Journey
Olfactory Journey
From ancient times till nowadays we are keen on fragrances. We believe that Sri Lanka is a unique country to provide a special experience in the world of fragrances. Most famous perfumes were coming to Ceylon for inspiration (Suzy Le Helley, Symrise, Pierre Guillaume, Dominique Ropion). Many perfume brands are dedicating their perfumes to this beautiful island. For example, Bvlgari created Le Gemme Amunae which was inspired by moonstone mines in Meetiyagoda Sri Lanka; Pierre Guillaume has a special collection dedicated to Matale, the best smelling place in the world.
