Description

Coucou everyone!

This week Kate tells us about how the perfume industry started in Grasse because things were a little stinky before - to say the least! We then explore some of the perfumes that have significant historical importance and get into some juicy gossip! We can't not talk about the French Perfume Industry without of course discussing Chanel No 5! Cat then tells us about a mystery at Versailles! So get yourself to a terrasse with a glass of vin and settle in!

Don't forget to follow us on Instagram :)
