Centuries ago, the French town of Grasse reeked of pungent odors from leather tanning. But now it’s famous for quite the opposite scent from the acres of flowers that it grows for top perfume houses. In 1921, when Coco Chanel set out to create her signature scent, Chanel No. 5, she went to Grasse for its flowers. Grasse jasmine and May roses have been key ingredients in the perfume for more than a century. This Sunday, Cecilia Vega visits this perfumers’ paradise to see how an industry once in decline is now experiencing a renaissance. #perfume #chanelno5 #roses
