| | Grasse: perfume's French center |
| | The surrounding area, including Grasse and Nice, was part of Italy for centuries and Grasse only became part of the Alpes-Maritimes region as recently as 1860 when the country of Nice became part of France. | | | Grasse had been a center for leather and tanning and was famous for glove production since the 13th century. | | | Grasse has been called 'the perfume capital of the world' and despite four centuries as the Queen of Perfume it still rightly deserves this title. |

| | DARWINISM: SCIENCE OR PHILOSOPHY? Chapter 1 |
| | According to Grasse, evolving species acquire a new store of genetic information through "a phenomenon whose equivalent cannot be seen in the creatures living at the present time (either because it is not there or because we are unable to see it)." | | | Nobody denies that mutation and selection have caused variation in nature, as with the varieties of shapes and colors in the famous finches of the Galapagos islands or the shifting ratios of dark and light peppered moths in the midlands of England. | | | Of course, Dawkins argues that this appearance is misleading, because the features that appear to have been designed were in fact produced by the purposeless, unintelligent processes of mutation and selection. |

| | Now in Grasse aromatic essence is usually extracted by steeping the raw material in a volatile solvent, or through "fractional distillation" allowing producers to actually isolate the chemical constituents of essential oils. | | | In the 16th century Catherine of Medici established a fashion of perfumed gloves, and Grasse merchants cultivated the aromatic plants tanners needed to supply perfumed leather to aristocracy. | | | As an important trading center, Grasse was known before Columbus as a producer of fine leather goods. |

| | The most chattered about piece of Grasse's past is to do with it's position on the Route Napoléon and the lengthy and tumultuous stay of Pauline Bonaparte when she was separated from Prince Borghese. | | | Even then, Grasse was reknowned throughout Europe as the perfume capital of the world. | | | A series of limestone terraces spreads outwards and upwards from the bay of Cannes like a natural ampitheatre, and Grasse has the best seat in the house. |
