Fingers are still prickly from the odd thorns of flower picking at Grasse and hair bears the salty air from the boat ride from Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes, overlooking the Lerin islands; the chime of the clock of the hôtel de ville singing the hours is still audible in my mind's ear... It's hard to re-immerse oneself in the routine of the everyday, as one must.
The following posts will tackle a travel memoir of the glorious Grasse trail, the perfect nose training session with perfumery raw materials firms and museums highlight;, cultural notes & musings on the scent traditions & perfume wearing of the French in situ; an in-depth perfumery material post on mimosa; as well as culinary aromatic delights coming from the South of France with lots of fragrant surprises for our readers as always: à très bientôt!
