Perfume has a magical power on humans. It surrounds us, speaks of personality, evokes memories, demonstrates taste, and reminds us of the distinguished names of certain brands. Behind the elegance, every scent has its origin, including planting, plowing, picking, extracting, logging, extraction, and distillation. Fragrance pickers are not afraid of changing climates, barren land, fluctuating economic conditions and political situations. They work hard day and night to provide perfumers with rich and layered natural raw materials for their perfume trays, inspiring their outstanding creative inspiration. The author of this book, Rock, is the director of the purchasing department of the world's largest spice manufacturing company. He frequently shuttles between perfumers and perfume collectors, building a bridge of trust between the two parties who need each other but are completely separated. He provides the former with unique and high-quality raw materials and ensures the latter's long-term and stable procurement needs. He leads us to follow in his footsteps and observe closely the difficulties and anecdotes that perfumes go through before they are bottled. He calls on us to cherish the time-honored traditional skills of perfume pickers and protect nature as an eternal gift.
