The Aftel Archive of Curious Scents is not just the first museum in the U.S. dedicated to perfume, but more beguilingly, the first one dedicated to the experience of fragrance. This tiny museum manages to contain the olfactory history of the world: hundreds of natural essences, raw ingredients and antique tinctures (some of which are hundred of years old)  gathered from every corner of the globe.  
           
Tour the museum (masks required), then go to the garden to sample many different fragrances.  You can choose four fragrances, a sample of which you can take home.

Please be aware - there are two separate sessions, one at 11 AM, the other at noon. Each is a one hour tour, and each will be limited to 10 people.

Here is is an interesting page about Mandy Aftel, who says"I started making natural perfumes almost 30 years ago. I create each of my perfumes from the comprehensive collection of strikingly beautiful natural essences that I have assembled over the years from hidden corners of the world" and "As the founder of Aftelier Perfumes, I have been hailed as one of the fragrance industry’s “most prolific talents” by Vogue and an “angel of alchemy” by Vanity Fair..." And much, much more...

The Gourmet Ghetto is one block away and offers many lunch options.
