The show's architecture rests on four interpretation grids that continuously intersect:

- the symbolism of the five elements: Fire - Earth - Water - Air - Ether
  (or, in other words, the matter-to-energy-to-light paradigm);

- the parallel technical evolution of perfumes: burnt herbs, solid resins, liquid essential oils and air-spray vaporization.

- the male/female interaction principal: seduction, domination, conflict, encounter and fusion.

- finally, the history of Provence through its fragances:
from the Orient perfumes arrive in the antique Provence of arid and savage scents ; later, irrigation allows there the cultivation of new aromatic plants (Basil, Tarragon, etc,) and through the seventeen century the domestication of noble flowers such as the Jasmine of Grasse and the Rose of May ; then, the first synthetic substances and the great scented compositions appear in the 20th century.
