Barcelona Museu del Perfum

Barcelona Perfume Museum: In the back room of the Regia perfumery sits this collection of nearly 5,000 scent bottles, cosmetic flasks and related objects. The collection of the Barcelona Perfume Museum is divided in two.

The first section of the Barcelona Perfume Museum shows all manner of unguent vases and essence jars in chronological order, from a tube of black eye make-up from pre-dynastic Egypt to Edwardian atomisers and a prized double-flask pouch that belonged to Marie Antoinette.

The second section of the Barcelona Perfume Museum exhibits perfumery brands such as Guerlain and Dior; some are in rare bottles, among them a garish Dalí creation for Schiaparelli and a set of golliwog flasks by Vigny Paris. The Barcelona Perfume Museum's most recent addition includes a collection of 19th-century perfume powder bottles and boxes.
