Scent-sational

Longwood Gardens presents the exhibition "Making Scents: The Art and Passion of Fragrance," Saturday through Nov. 21. An intersection of flora, fashion and science, you can experience the actual plants and flowers behind iconic perfumes, explore the mysterious power of the sense of smell, and have the opportunity to compose a basic fragrance at the Make Your Own Fragrance stations located in the Conservatory's Music Room.

The exhibition is divided into four sections: "Into a Fragrant World," "The Art of Perfume & Fragrant Gardens," "The Science of Fragrance," and "Your Fragrant Garden." More than 260 different genera of aromatic plants and flowers have been added specifically for the exhibition. The exhibition will also trace key moments in the history of perfume, beginning with the earliest recorded Egyptian scent around 1800 BC and culminating with Coco Chanel's release of No. 5 in 1921.

Longwood is at Routes 1 and 52, Kennett Township. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Admission is $16, $14 for seniors 62+, $6 for students 5-22. Call (610) 388-1000 or visit www.longwoodgardens.org.
