It will reportedly be possible to get an idea of how the Etruscans scented themselves, or their dead, as a funerary Etruscan perfume vase made of alabaster excavated in 2005 contains enough perfume oils to be analyzed and reconstituted.

The vase is currently part of an exhibition in Chiusi, Sienna and belongs to the funerary trousseau of a woman dating back to the 2nd century before the common era.
