Esxence – The Scent of Excellence, one of the most important events for the artistic perfumery community, celebrates its tenth anniversary by becoming the “perfumery piazza”, a rendezvous for exchanging ideas, building contacts and sealing deals in the world artistic perfumery community.

An exclusive showcase of the finest unique perfumes and beauty products on offer will be hosted from 5 to 8 April 2018 in the venue of The Mall in Piazza Lina Bo Bardi, in the throbbing heart of the Milanese skyline, the location chosen by Esxence as the ideal stage set for magical meetings that pay a well-deserved tribute to an event of international significance, now poised to embark on enticing new challenges.

Esxence’s Technical Committee – all international experts in niche perfumery and cosmetics –is already hard at work evaluating both the well-established and the latest new international perfume houses that are planning a presence at Esxence, making a strict selection to offer the public a complete panorama of the excellence and exclusiveness of authored perfumery and cosmetics. Because this is not a question of perfumery alone: for the fourth year running, the fair’s exhibition spaces will also be hosting a special section devoted to niche skincare entitled Esxkin – The Excellence of Beauty, where the most exclusive brands will be showcasing their distinctive innovative formulae, the quality of their raw materials and their original approach to the cosmetics sector.

During the event’s four-day run, ample space will be set aside for meetings, workshops, round tables and special fringe events with some of the world’s most authoritative names. Entry is free of charge, subject to prior registration. ESXENCE – The Scent of Excellence is open to business operatives all four days of the event. Visitors can attend on Saturday and Sunday.

The mission of the event is promoting olfactory and cosmetic culture both to professionals and to the public at large.

The 2018 edition also confirms the event’s continuing partnership with the Osmothèque, the world’s only international conservatoire of perfumery, based in Versailles and a familiar presence since the first edition of Esxence with its meetings and workshops, together with that with the prestigious Art and Olfaction Awards: for the fourth year running, the 2018 Esxence will furnish the official location for the announcement of the finalists in the award devoted to independent niche brands.
