GUANGZHOU, China, July 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the morning of July 9, 2025, the Xuelei Fragrance Museum officially opened to the public in Guangzhou, China. As the world’s largest fragrance museum to date, its debut marks a significant milestone in China’s growing presence in the global fragrance landscape.
Covering over 7,000 square meters, the museum’s architectural design takes inspiration from the fusion of snow-covered mountains and perfume distillation equipment. Its red brick exterior, with its textured craftsmanship, symbolizes Xuelei Group’s pursuit of technical excellence and artisanal perfection. With a mission centered on fragrance education and cultural immersion, the museum seamlessly integrates intelligent technologies and over 300 unique scent profiles to create an immersive, interactive experience. Through multisensory resonance, time-spanning scenarios, and cross-dimensional perspectives, visitors are invited to explore a dynamic, sensorial world of scent that is tangible, interactive, and richly discoverable.
Executives and representatives from leading global fragrance houses—including Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF, Symrise, MANE, Iberchem, and CPL Aromas—attended the opening ceremony and offered their congratulations on the museum’s official inauguration.

As a landmark project and a labor of love by Xuelei, the museum is dedicated to exploring and revitalizing China’s traditional fragrance culture while building a global bridge for olfactory dialogue between East and West. More than a cultural monument, the museum serves as an innovation catalyst for the industry. Anchored in a deep integration of academia, industry, and research, it provides a platform for talent development, technological innovation, and academic exchange—helping prepare the next generation of global fragrance professionals.
