The Scent of the Manufactory: Between Heritage and the Present
The Royal Porcelain Manufactory takes you on an olfactory journey behind the scenes of its historic walls, which have guarded the secrets of Berlin porcelain production since 1763. During the elaborate, meticulously perfected transformation of three natural raw materials—kaolin, feldspar, and quartz—into exquisite objects for the table, dining, and home décor, the experts are surrounded by numerous distinctive scents. The unique scent bouquet of Berlin porcelain is particularly evident in the master painting workshop of this traditional manufactory: Skilled master painters blend powdery color pigments with natural oils such as lavender, anise, and orange, bringing to life not only meticulously detailed floral paintings, landscapes, vedute, and custom designs, but also an aromatic fragrance composition that lets the senses wander.
The scent of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin now fills your own cozy home as an aromatic candle, bringing the fascinating ambiance of its place of origin. Captured in a porcelain vessel from the KURLAND collection (1790), the fresh fragrance composition Edition WEISS tells the story of the porcelain manufactory—now over 250 years old—blending heritage with modernity.
