FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCE - Hortus botanicus Leiden expo

Why do flowers often smell so wonderful?  And some other plants are very horrible? Come smell it, see it and discover it in the Old Observatory. Using, among other things, the Amorphophallus, or penis plant, you will discover the different functions of scent. For example, certain plants that smell attractive to humans actually deter insects. After the Scent Experience you will walk through the garden with a new look (and nose)! The Scent Experience is part of the Hortus Scent Year and takes place in the visitor center, downstairs in the Old Observatory. Here you can also experience what it smells like in the universe.
