The current and fabulous show housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Chinese Galleries and Anna Wintour Costume Center gives a gracious bow to fashionable and iconic fragrance bottles.

“China: Through the Looking Glass,” a reflection on how Chinese and Western aesthetics have influenced each other for centuries, takes an even more spectacular turn for those involved in the beauty and perfume industry with its spaces devoted to fragrance. Amid the many traditional costumes, couture, paintings and porcelains was an inspired assortment of scent-related sketches, notes, advertisements and flacons, with examples from masters including Paul Poiret, Jean Patou and Yves Saint Laurent.

See slideshow above for some of the highlights.

Summer’s going by quickly. Be sure to stop by if you can. “China: Through the Looking Glass,” runs through September 7, 2015. It is one of the museum’s most popular exhibits, ever. Here’s more about the show’s fashion designs on display.
