In the truly exceptional surroundings of the Castle of the Counts within the Citadel of Namur, more than 100.000 visitors, from Europe and many other regions of the world, discover each year the magnificent exhibition hall of our perfumery.

It was in fact in December, 1990, that the perfumer-creator Guy Delforge opened his doors for the first time to extend a warm and fragrant welcome to his delighted public. Royal visitors, ambassadors, groups of all ages, associations, clubs, schools and businesses constantly swell the ranks of visitors eager to explore the unique world of fine perfumes.

It was also in December, 1990, that Guy Delforge decided to completely restore the old officers' mess, previously used in the 19th century, first as an artillery laboratory and later as a military dovecote.

Indeed, the Maestro Guy Delforge, conducting with style and flair an orchestra of rich fragrances, has prepared for the visitor's pleasure an underground journey of discovery where each phase of this remarkable craft is shown to full advantage. Perfumes are created and mature within the very heart of the Citadel. As a Dutch journalist commented : "The spell of this 'light, sound and perfume' show and its enchantment are such that the outside world is rapidly forgotten".
