"Selection of postcards with allegorical representations of perfumes by Raphael Kirchner" refers to a series of art nouveau postcards created by the Austrian artist Raphael Kirchner (1876–1917), which depict allegorical figures representing various perfumes. Kirchner, known for his distinctive style that often featured sensual and ethereal women, was a prolific illustrator and his postcards were highly popular in the early 20th century, particularly in France and the United States.

The allegorical representations of perfumes are a testament to Kirchner's ability to blend commercial art with fine art sensibilities, creating works that were both accessible to the general public and appreciated by art connoisseurs. These postcards would typically feature elegantly dressed women or symbolic figures in idyllic settings, with each illustration embodying the essence of a particular scent. The use of allegory in these works served to personify the intangible qualities of the perfumes, making them more relatable and enticing to consumers.

Kirchner's postcards were not only significant for their aesthetic appeal but also for their role in the history of advertising and the perfume industry. They reflect the period's fascination with exotic and luxurious goods, as well as the burgeoning consumer culture that used art to market products. The postcards are now considered collectible items and are studied by art historians and collectors for their artistic merit and cultural significance.

As an artist, Raphael Kirchner contributed to the Art Nouveau movement and was a contemporary of other notable artists such as Alphonse Mucha. His work on the allegorical representations of perfumes postcards is a prime example of the intersection between commercial and fine art during a time when the boundaries between the two were increasingly blurred. These postcards remain a charming and evocative record of the era's aesthetic and social trends.
