A video conference by Tristan Hinschberger, organized by the Art Deco Society of New York.
This lecture explores the evolution of French perfumery from the sinuous, nature-inspired aesthetics of Art Nouveau to the bold geometry and modern elegance of Art Déco. Through emblematic perfume bottles, visual identities, and advertising materials, Tristan highlights how these two major artistic movements shaped the presentation, branding, and cultural perception of fragrance in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Blending art history and olfactory heritage, the talk reveals the dialogue between decorative arts and the perfume industry, showcasing collaborations between glassmakers, designers, and perfumers that gave rise to some of the most iconic objects of modern luxury.
