About this audio guide
This guide to the Musée International de la Parfumerie in Grasse follows jasmine, the small white flower the town's perfume trade has bent its mornings around since the nineteenth century. It reaches back to the tanners and glove-makers of the fifteen hundreds and the smell they left behind. Best heard up in the rooftop greenhouse, standing close to the plants.
