Paris’ Palais de Tokyo to host Francis Kurkdjian exhibition

Paris museum Palais de Tokyo is to host a retrospective exhibition on the work of perfumer Francis Kurkdjian from October 29 to November 23, 2025.

The exhibition presents olfactory installations and perfumed objects, invented or revisited by Kurkdjian in collaboration with creatives from a range of disciplines, such as artist Sophie Calle, theater director Cyril Teste, photographer Christelle Boulé, and conductor and cellist Klaus Mäkelä.

It will reveal new works including “L’Alchimie des sens”, an installation designed around the Baccarat Rouge 540 fragrance.

The exhibition is also accompanied by a program of conferences and masterclasses.
