Yes, in some rooms of the museum, ambient fragrance diffusers are installed. Specifically, dispensers are located at the escalator landing (second floor), at the base of the Sanpaolesi staircase (second floor), near the offices adjacent to the entrance of the Writing Gallery (third floor), and at the entrance to the Conference Hall (ground floor).
This initiative is part of a broader project that actively involved the museum staff and led to the creation of a unique Museo Egizio fragrance. The scent is characterized by notes of geranium, neroli, lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, juniper, incense, amber, sandalwood, and vetiver.

Geraniol, Pin-2(10)-ene, Octahydro-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenylethanone, [3R-(3α,3aβ,6α,7β,8aα)]-octahydro-6-methoxy-3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-1H-3a,7-methanoazulene, Pentadecan-15-olide, Caryophyllene, [3R-(3α,3aβ,7β,8aα)]-1-(2,3,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-3,6,8,8-tetramethyl-1H-3a,7-methanoazulen-5-yl)ethan-1-one, α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, Linalyl Acetate, (R)-P-Mentha-1,8-Diene, Linalool, p-Mentha-1,3-Diene, Cinnamyl Alcohol, 2-Methylundecanal, Eugenol (with Caryophyllene impurities <10%), Myrcene, Cinnamaldehyde, Decahydro heptamethyl indofuran, Benzyl Salicylate, Reaction products of acetic anhydride and 1,5,10-trimethyl-1,5,9-cyclodecatriene, Alpha-Vetivone, Beta-Vetivone, Neryl Acetate, Geranyl Acetate, Eucalyptol, Nerol, Pin-2(3)-ene, Citronellol.
