The “Light and Shadow” olfactory exhibition has now closed, bringing to an end a run of days full of feeling and invention in the world of scent. Looking back, the organisers were delighted by the warm welcome from visitors, who gave their time to come and experience the olfactory art space of “Light and Shadow”, to take it in and to share their impressions.
Heartfelt thanks from the organisers
To everyone who came
Your presence, above all, is what made “Light and Shadow” a success. The organisers are deeply grateful to every guest who came, listened and felt with all their heart. The moments when visitors stood in silence before a work of scent and wrote down their thoughts and feelings are precious to us; they give us the resolve to keep offering ever more original encounters with scent in the years ahead.
Thanks to the organising team and everyone who worked alongside us
Behind the success of the “Light and Shadow” olfactory exhibition in Hanoi was a devoted team who worked tirelessly to make the visit as complete as it could be. From the studios behind the space, the lighting and the sound to the volunteers who were always ready to help, everyone had a hand in making it an exhibition to remember. R Parfums would also like to thank our media partners, the press and everyone who helped carry the message of “Light and Shadow” to the public. Everyone’s support helped bring the exhibition closer to all who love art and scent.
What comes next: a new journey ahead
Though the scented curtain has come down on “Light and Shadow”, the road goes on for the artist Rei Nguyen and R Parfums. We believe the art of scent still has a great deal left to explore, with stories yet to be told through the sense of smell. R Parfums hopes you will continue to support us and join us in the projects to come. Let us keep sharing a love of art and scent, and we look forward to seeing you again on the paths ahead.
