In one of the two parallel plot-lines here, Robbins juggles the separate attempts of various parfumiers around the world to come up with a perfume (upon a jasmine base) that will outenchant any previous concoction: Madame Devalier in New Orleans is feverishly experimenting so is her adopted daughter Priscilla in Seattle and the megs-company LeFever is also hard at work in Paris. A round-Robbins on the themes of scent, so-called "floral consciousness," and immortality-skipping through time and space, but offering a little old-fashioned storytelling charm along with the usual cute/hip doodling.
