Would Chanel No. 5 smell different if the jasmine came from outside Grasse, France? Master perfumer Olivier Polge says, “Yes, it would definitely have an impact.” Some compare the flowers used in perfume to grapes used in wine, where the location and growing conditions help shape the final product. In a smell test, Cecilia Vega describes jasmine from Grasse, France, as grassy and fruity with a note of green tea, delicate like the flower itself. #grasse #chanelno5 #jasmine #perfume
