Weighing the flowers

Each worker's flowers are weighed by M. Mul. The workers carry their petals in wicker baskets, pour them into a metal basket, and then M. Mul calls out the weight in kilograms.

In total, the fields produce 20 tons of jasmine (and 50 tons of roses) every year.

I can almost smell the jasmine through my computer screen. Chanel N°5 is one of my favorite perfumes. Lovely pictures & thanks for sharing your adventure.

I'm so jealous of you, Bella! We grow jasmine in our backyard all the time, though. It smells awesome.

Great slideshow, I would love to go on that tour. Although I am not a fan of the original N°5 but Chanel N°5 Eau Première is absolutely amazing!!! I have been wearing it for about two weeks and just can't get enough of it. Loves it!!!

Very interesting and well explained photo-documentary! What a nice tour you gave us, Bella! What a great opportunity you had! I had the chance to visit Grasse on a school trip 16 years ago! It was not a Chanel's exclusive area that we visited. But we did get the chance to watch the process of scent making and then the laboratories. I'll never forget it!
