This article presents the results of a student experiment conducted at the University of Hamburg as part of a course about scents and smells in antiquity. In the experiment, students produced their own versions of ancient perfumes. Located at the intersection of the humanities and the sciences, this project aimed to bring ancient olfactory spaces to life for the students by reconstructing and manufacturing ancient fragrances as authentically as possible. As a source for the fragrance recipes, we used the work of the physician Dioscorides, whose writing provides information on the ingredients and procedures used in the ancient manufacture of perfumes. This article illuminates the added value of such experiments by encouraging the integration of experimental archaeology into teaching processes.

本文介绍了在汉堡大学进行的一项学生实验的结果，该实验是关于古代气味和气味课程的一部分。在实验中，学生们制作了他们自己版本的古代香水。该项目位于人文与科学的交汇处，旨在通过尽可能真实地重建和制造古代香水，为学生带来古老的嗅觉空间。作为香水配方的来源，我们使用了医生 Dioscorides 的著作，他的著作提供了有关古代香水制造中使用的成分和程序的信息。本文通过鼓励将实验考古学融入教学过程来阐明此类实验的附加价值。
