描述格拉斯（Grasse）的珍寶，當地人常稱之為「花中之花」。茉莉原產於印度，現今與埃及同為全球主要生產國。其小巧的白色花朵看似纖弱，卻散發強烈香氣，萃取出的原精帶有花香、溫暖、豐潤、如奶油般絲滑，並略帶動物性香調。在經典的大型花香調中不可或缺，茉莉體現了精緻而豐腴的性感。透過植物學、美食、歷史、農業與化學的旅程，發掘這種纖細花朵的多元面貌，當然，也少不了香水與調香師的篇章。

Seven contributors weigh in on the same flower, and it's fascinating how each voice builds on the last—the chapter on Grasse's harvest rituals alone is worth the cover price. I've read it twice and still find new details in the sourcing breakdowns.
The essays on Grasse's jasmine are surprisingly deep for such a slim volume, and the collaborative writing style flows together seamlessly. I especially appreciated the detailed history of how the flower became the region’s perfume staple.
Read this cover to cover on a Sunday afternoon, and the way it traces jasmine from Grasse’s fields to the perfumer’s palette is genuinely absorbing. The essays are short enough to dip into, but dense with history and craft that made me smell my own jasmine oil differently.
