Music in Scents by Ensemble Agamemnon

Saturday, October 17, 2026 at 8:00 PM Event Ended

Ensemble Agamemnon presents a scent-accompanied programme of Baroque and Renaissance music at Louvre Abu Dhabi.

This UAE premiere adds a fragrance dimension to the concert experience. Italian Baroque music is paired with scents created by Alexandre Helwani and realised by Magique, including frankincense, myrrh and Damascus rose.

The auditorium programme is a distinctive option for listeners drawn to early music and perfumery. Fragrance is diffused during the performance, a practical consideration for anyone sensitive to scents. Doors close five minutes before the 8pm start, and later admission may be restricted.

Schedule: 20:00; ends 21:30 (UAE time).

Admission: Public, separately ticketed concert; Standard concert ticket AED 100. Eligible reduced tickets AED 80 are shown on the museum booking page. Advertised from AED 100.
