Ok. Rosalie, let's see how you got on.
Well done.
I see you picked out the lemongrass and the musk.
You have an excellent nose.
I worked really hard, François. It's my dream to work here.
You got them all right, except one.
The coal tar.
But 99 percent is an exceptional score.
Unfortunately, not quite good enough,
and we only have one vacancy for the placement.
[phone vibrating]
Lizzie.
Hey. So, how'd it go?
I didn't get it.
Oh, shoot. I'm sorry, honey.
I know how hard you worked.
Rosalie: I gave Parfum de Paris everything for three years
and I get one scent wrong and it's all over.
Can you try again next year?
I don't know. I think I'm done with Paris for a while.
Rosalie: I'm sorry, I haven't even asked how you are.
I am fine.
I'm just making Poppy some milk.
So, come on. We always figure these things out.
What're we gonna do?
I'm gonna come home and open my own perfumery.
Lizzie: Really?
Who needs Paris?
Lizzie: I'm so excited.
Let me know when you're landing. Love you.
I love you, Lizzie.

[horn honking]
I can't believe you're actually here!
I'm sorry I'm late!
I'm so happy to see you!
I missed you.
I missed you, too.
Would you look at you, so sophisticated and chic.
And you smell so good. What is that? Is that new?
Yeah. I've been experimenting with a lavender base.
It's gorgeous.
I'll make you some.
I thought mom and dad were picking me up.
Oh, they're just finishing up a road trip in Arizona.
But I told them what happened and they're on their way home.
Arizona? In the RV?
Since going to the Grand Canyon's on Dad's bucket list
they're going to stop there on the way home,
but don't worry, they'll be back next week.
They are so adventurous now, I love it.
Ok, come on, we gotta get out of here.
Poppy has been talking about you all morning.
She is so excited.
I'm so excited.
You travel pretty light.
Oh, shoot. Where's my bag?
Oh. I'm gonna wait with the car.
Oh, what're you doing?
Uh, grabbing my bag. What're you doing?
I'm holding on to my bag.
Pretty sure this is my bag.
I'm 100 percent certain that this is my bag.
I packed it this morning.
I can confidently
say that this bag was packed in Paris this morning.
What?
Rosalie?
You don't recognize me, do you?
Ok, well, look.
This has been really fun, but I'm jet-lagged.
It's been a long flight, so I'm just-
Ah, no.
Seriously?
Uh, go ahead. Open it up.
I mean, I didn't think we needed- ok.
I think, we do.
Yep, caught the first flight out of Boston this morning.
Oh.
So, where is my bag?
I think that's your bag.
So, it is.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Rosalie.
♪
Home sweet home.
I'm still not used to saying that.
I still think of it as Grammy's.
Poppy, Ted! She's here!
Hey!
Oh, it looks like she's gonna beat me to it!
It's good to have you back, kiddo.
Yay, Aunt Rosie's home!
It's good to see you guys, too.
But do you think I could breathe a little bit?
-No. -No?
You just smell so good.
Oh.
Looks like you've been working out, huh big guy?
I'm glad you noticed.
And you, my petit cherie.
You are getting more and more graceful every single day.
I do ballet now.
She was so inspired by that clip you sent of Swan Lake.
Can I show you my routine, Aunt Rosie?
Oh, honey, I'm sure Aunt Rosie would love to see it,
but let's get her back up to her room first, ok?
-Ok. -Yeah.
You wanna take it?
After you.
Isn't she getting bigger?
-I know, it's crazy. -Oh, my gosh!
Thanks for letting me stay.
I'll go see Aunt Ruby tomorrow about a place to rent.
Don't be silly.
You stay as long as you need.
There's lots of blankets,
and let me know if you need more hangers.
Oh, it's the baby blanket you made for Poppy.
What's wrong?
I have been trying to get pregnant again.
That's great.
For the past three years.
How did I not know?
You weren't here.
I didn't wanna talk about it over the phone
and when you were back for Christmas
you were just here for a week or so and...
I'm so sorry, I had no idea.
The doctor suggested I could try some fertility treatments,
but I'm not sure.
Whatever you decide, I'm here. Every step of the way.
Ok?
-I missed you. -I missed you, too.
[exhales]
I found her.
Where have you been?
I found her in the rose garden.
Nothing changes.
I made your favorite chicken dish.
Oh.
What do they call it in Paris, Aunt Rosie?
Chicken in French is "poulet",
but they don't make it nearly as good as your mom does.
And what do they call green beans?
"Haricot vert."
You better eat some of these haricot verts, Poppy,
if you want to grow up to be strong.
And hey, I'm sorry to hear about your job, Rosalie.
Thank you.
I mean, it can take years to become a top perfumer in Paris.
I just couldn't afford to wait another year to try.
Well, on the bright side,
your perfumes are coming here to Summerville.
They sure are.
I figure I don't need to live in Paris to like perfume.
I love perfume and I live right here on Rootmore Street.
Me too.
Sure.
Everybody I know likes to smell good.
Exactly, Ted.
Scent is universal.
So Aunt Rosie, where is your perfumery going to be?
That is a good question, Pop-pop.
I think I'm going to try to find a spot on Main Street.
Do you know what?
Ryan Dubois is looking to rent out his workshop in town.
Do you want me to call him?
Ryan Dubois? Who's he?
He was in your class. You don't remember?
Glasses, short for his age...
Not really, no.
He gave you that little paper rose on Valentine's Day?
I don't remember that being him.
Wait, didn't that guy move away?
He came back just after you went to France
to take over his grandfather's furniture shop.
Boy, did he change.
[laughs]
What do you mean?
Oh, you'll see.
Ted: Yeah.
Ok.
The potatoes.
Oh, this looks amazing.

[spritzing]
Aunt Rosie!
Hey, Pop-pop.
I knew you'd be here.
I checked your bedroom and your bed was already made.
Jet-lag woke me up.
You look like you haven't quite finished getting ready yet.
That's ok, I can brush and walk at the same time.
So, Aunt Rosie, when are you gonna start making perfume?
Mmm. After I tidy up here just a little bit.
Can you make me one to wear at my ballet exam?
Of course.
How do you want it to make you feel?
What do you mean?
Well, different scents can make you feel different ways,
like the smell of hot cocoa can make you feel comforted.
Or the smell of French fries can make you feel hungry.
Well, I don't wanna smell like French fries.
No, I don't blame you.
See, I chose lavender for my special scent that I wear
because it makes me feel fresh and full of possibilities.
It's the first smell I would smell in the morning
when I used to come play in Grammy's garden.
Well, I like strawberries.
They make me happy to look at them and eat them.
Ok, very good. What else?
Oh, those.
They smell really pretty and they remind me
of the dancers tutus in Swan Lake.
Rosalie: Lilies and strawberries.
Lovely and sweet, just like you.
Lizzie: Poppy?
Poppy, where are you?
In here, Mom.
There you are.
All right, almost ready for school.
I just need you to go finish brushing your teeth
and get your school bag ready.
But mom, Aunt Rosie's gonna make me perfume.
Woah. That is so special.
But it's gonna have to wait 'til after school, ok sweetheart?
You started early.
Do you think you could give me a ride into town?
I might as well go check out that space
that Ryan Dubois has for rent.
You should most definitely go and see Ryan Dubois.
Ok.
I told you, he's changed.
I'll be leaving in 10 minutes.
-Hey, Lizzie? -Yeah?
-I have something else for you. -Really?
Ugh!
What is this?
It is clary sage and geranium essential oil.
It's supposed to be really good for fertility.
Are you serious?
It's worth a shot. What've you got to lose?
All right, boss.
We'll see.
I'll see you in a bit.
Oh boy.
♪
Hello?
Yeah?
Oh, it's you again.
-Hi. -Hi.
Can I help you?
Oh, you work here?
Yeah.
No, no, no, it's ok.
I'm actually here to see Ryan Dubois.
Oh, Ryan Dubois.
I guess it's been a while since you've seen him.
Uh-huh.
I think we were about 13 and he came up to my shoulders.
He had these railway track braces
and the thickest glasses you've ever seen.
Aw, what a nerd.
Well, I shot up when I was 15 and got the braces off,
and then I got contacts, so...
-Ryan. -Mm-hm. Yeah.
It's you.
I am so sorry, I didn't recognize you at all.
It's ok.
I guess that explains why you ran away from me at the airport.
I'm really sorry if we got off on the wrong foot.
All good.
Did you make these pieces? They're beautiful.
I did, and thank you.
Unfortunately, not quite beautiful enough
to cover the rent so that's why I'm renting out the space.
Great. That's actually what I'm here to see.
Oh.
Uh, well, come with me.
There's a second entrance. It's been freshly painted.
I changed the knob in two. It's just up here.
Oh.
So, this is it.
I've been using it as a workshop
but I originally built it as another store.
Wow.
What? You don't like it?
No, I really like it.
I just wasn't expecting it to be so big.
So, what exactly will you be selling?
Is it kitchenware or cookware?
-Perfume. -Perfume?
Hmm.
Why not?
It's just I didn't think the town needed
a fancy perfume shop.
Well, it's not about necessity.
Scent is integral to the pleasures of life.
Sorry, it's just this is a really big space
to be selling perfume out of
and I need to make sure that you can pay the rent.
I'll pay two months in advance.
Are you sure?
Am I sure people like perfume? Yes, I am.
And the drug store carries a grand selection
of three bottles,
so I'm pretty sure we'll be exclusive.
I just meant that if you-
Two month's rent if you help me fix up the place.
Honestly, it just needs a little clean, some cabinets,
maybe a set of shelves...
It'll be a pretty minimal cost.
Ted said you've been trying to rent the space for months.
I just don't have the time.
Oh, it's ok.
I'm sure I can find somewhere else.
But I could find the time.
So, it's a deal?
You drive a hard bargain.
Thank you.
[giggles]
Hmm.
-Salut. -Au revoir.
-Bonjour, my Rosalie! -Aunt Ruby.
You're looking fantastic as always.
I brought you something.
Awe.
Oh, this is gorgeous!
Only the chicest Parisian accessories
for my favorite aunt.
Thank you.
So, tell me, what have you been up to since I last saw you?
Eating fresh croissants, cycling along the Seine at midnight?
Oh, you're making me miss it already.
There is nothing better than a fresh Parisian croissant.
And now you're back and it's not even Christmas.
Are you having a little holiday before you start your job
at Parfum de Paris?
No, that um, didn't work out, unfortunately.
I'm sorry to hear that, dear.
Thank you. Yeah, I was pretty upset.
But the good news is I'm gonna sell my perfumes here,
and I just rented a little shop not far off Main Street.
Oh-la-la! You don't mess around.
Mm-mm.
Now I just need somewhere to live.
Lizzie and Ted have a lot going on and I feel bad imposing.
And you certainly won't fit in the RV
with your mom and dad.
Thank goodness.
[laughing]
Oh, there is a sweet little place coming up for rent
in a couple of weeks.
Harrison!
Coming.
Oh, Rosalie. What a nice surprise.
Uncle Harrison.
She wants to take a look at the Remmington place to rent.
And I have a phone call in 10 minutes,
so you show her the photos, Harrison.
And bye-bye, dear.
And do come back and tell me about your adventures in Paris.
Absolutely.
Here you go.
Oh. Oh.
Oh! Here it is.
[laughs]
Ok, um, two bedrooms, a lovely garden and a garage.
It looks great so far.
Is something wrong, my dear?
Nothing, I just... my place in Paris was so small
I could wash my hands in the basin from my bed.
I take it there is a "but".
But from my window there was
the most beautiful view of Notre Dame.
Well, if you look out the kitchen window on tippy toes
you have a great view of the sunflowers
in Maggie Peterson's garden.
[laughs]
-Well, that will do just fine. -Ok.
Plus, I'll have more wardrobe space.
Oh.
There is another reason I'm pleased to see you, Rosalie.
Why don't we go and take a little walk in the park,
away from the boss, and I can explain everything.
Ok.
Aww, it's good to see you.
[chuckles]
Well, at least they gave me back my license.
[laughs]
Rosie, I need your help.
Ruby and I are coming up to our 50th wedding anniversary
and I wanted to give her something really special.
I've been wracking my brain to think of something.
What about finally taking her to Paris?
She would love that.
If only she weren't so scared of flying.
My knuckles are still scarred from her grip
that time we flew to San Francisco.
I don't think they'll hold out all the way to France.
I forgot about that.
There is one thing I can maybe help with.
Well, don't keep me in suspense.
I could create her a signature scent.
A special perfume just for her.
Oh my, that would be wonderful.
But could you do that in 10 days?
Sure.
Why not?
Marvelous.
Although...
What's wrong?
I haven't managed to organize a party, either,
because she seems to always walk in when I'm on the phone.
Mmm. It is tricky to keep things from Aunt Ruby.
I've never been able to.
She can tell by looking at me I ate the last chocolate.
[laughs]
Well, I was planning on doing an opening party
for the perfumery anyway.
Why don't we use that as a cover
and then you and I can arrange things
and she'll never have an idea.
You are a genius. Oh, thank you so much, Rosie.
This will mean so much to both of us.
I'm happy to help.
Fifty years is a long time.
Oh, it sure is. Oh, I better get going.
I'll see you later, kiddo.
Thank you.
Bye.
-Hey. -Hey.
Have you eaten yet?
No.
Well, since we're gonna be working together,
do you want a sandwich? I got two.
Want one?
[laughs]
This is so good.
You sound surprised.
I just didn't think anything could top a ham and cheese
baguette from Rue Mouffetart.
I can assure you that Mary Beth's could compete
with any of the top French chefs.
You sound pretty confident.
I sure am, I know her menu backwards.
She basically feeds me.
I'm not really one for cooking.
So, I'm thinking of doing a cream lacquer finish
on the countertops.
Oh, you don't wanna lacquer it.
I think I do.
It's high quality solid wood pine.
You want to polish it up.
Show off the details in the grain in all its natural beauty.
That sounds great for a furniture store
but this is a perfumery and I think that the lacquer
will give it a sense of Parisian sophistication.
But I think we already established
that we're not in Paris, are we?
No, but that's exactly why I'd like to give my customers
a taste of it.
All right, well just let me make you a sample before you do, ok?
Fine.
Can I ask you why you took on a store you can't afford?
It's a family store, so it goes way back,
and at the time I decided to take it on I could afford it.
I had a business partner.
What happened?
It didn't work out.
One more thing?
There's something else?
You got any dessert in there?
But we have to share.
Absolutely not.
What?
-Good morning. -Good morning, Ted.
Whatcha doing?
My distillery arrived from Paris.
Ok.
Hey honey, what's that perfume you're wearing?
It's kinda strange.
Rosalie made it for me.
I hope you don't mind my saying, Rosalie,
but not your best work.
Bye.
[giggles]
What time is it?
-Uh, 8:30? -I have to get going.
Rosalie, what is all this stuff?
Uh, it's my mini distillery.
It's not that mini.
I know, it doesn't fit on the bedside table.
I'm sorry, sweetie, but I kinda need the space
to make the family breakfast,
and with the bake sale for the school this week.
Right.
Sorry, I think I got a little excited.
I'm used to this big lab-
Might be kinda tricky making it here
given that I'll be distracting you
with breakfast, lunch and dinner, and morning cake time
and afternoon cake time, and snack time.
-Morning. -Morning.
Now, why would you wanna cover this up?
I would like to point out that it is my perfumery.
In my store, and if you leave I might have to rent it
to someone who might not want cream lacquer countertops.
I'm not leaving.
Well, you still seem pretty keen on France.
[phone vibrating]
Ah.
Excuse me, I gotta take this.
Frank, calling again.
Sorry, buddy, but you're wasting your time.
Ryan: I told you, I'm not interested in joining Furniture Barn.
What I do is bespoke.
Well, I've stayed afloat for this long
so I think I'll be ok for now.
Yeah. Yes, yeah.
I have your number if anything changes.
Have a good one.
Bye.
What was that all about?
Uh, that was Frank calling and he usually calls
every couple months but he's been really persistent lately.
He wants to take Dubois
and turn it into a Furniture Barn location,
even said he'd pay me a salary and cover all the costs.
Are you tempted?
Sure I am, but...
But what?
Well, then it wouldn't be Dubois,
it would be just another franchise.
My grandfather started this store
and taught me everything I know about turning wood
so that I could keep it going, so...
I can understand that.
Yeah, like this for instance.
I pour my heart and soul into these pieces and I love doing it
because when a customer buys something
they know it's special,
just like their parents did when they bought
their bed or wardrobe from my grandpa.
It's part of the community.
I get it.
You're aiming for something more personal.
Right?
Like if I could take Dubois and get it out in the world
and sell just one piece of unique furniture like this chair,
hand crafted and meaningful to those who buy it and use it,
then I've done everything I have set out to achieve.
You know, we're really not that different, you and I.
You just work with your hands and I work with my nose.
I'm gonna need more help fixing up the store than just the fit out,
and if you're not gonna take his offer you need more
than two months' rent,
so why don't we agree to be partners here,
help each other out?
After all, the perfumery doing well will only serve
to benefit the furniture store.
You'll get the extra rent and the extra footfall.
Partners.
I lost one of those already.
Not this time.
Ok.
Woah, stop it.
You can't light that in here.
Why not?
Because there's sawdust everywhere
and there's flammable stuff.
It'll go up in seconds.
I guess lighting the place on fire and burning it down
before we even open is maybe not the best thing for business?
Probably not.
So is this a perfume making kit?
Mm-hm.
Not that I'm making any.
Can't do it at my sister's house
and apparently I can't do it here.
You just need a bench. Fire proof, obviously?
And some peace and quiet.
I know just the place. My kitchen.
Oh, no. I'll figure something out.
We're partners, aren't we?
Besides, the last time I put the oven on was two months ago
when I reheated some leftover pot roast from Mary Beth's.
Nice.
-Only if you're sure. -Of course I am.
And I'd kinda like to see what you're planning on selling here.
Oh, what I will be selling here.
I'll have you know I have plans for the entire range.
Glad to hear it.
Good. Partner.
[chuckles]
Isn't that a charming little cottage?
It's my favorite rental in town.
I think it'll suit your needs quite well.
It's a little different than cobbled streets and bistros,
but I think you're right.
This might be just what I need.
Excellent choice.
So now that Aunt Ruby's at the office
I thought maybe you and I could talk about
how to create her special perfume.
Oh, well, this way, Mademoiselle.
Ah.
How do we start?
Well, you could start by telling me a few
of Aunt Ruby's favorite things.
Like Oprah.
[laughs]
Like, uh, scents or flavors, or food even.
Ah. Hmm.
Well, every time we went to visit her mother she always said
how much she missed the smell of the apple blossoms.
Never did get a chance to plant an apple tree in our own yard,
so I'm sure she will love it in her bottle.
[laughs]
She keeps buying this fancy soap that smells like vanilla,
so I have to walk around
smelling like a giant ice cream cone.
[laughs]
Ok, so apple blossoms and vanilla.
This sounds lovely already.
Oh, and of course um, oranges.
She eats one every night after dinner like clockwork.
It's her favorite dessert.
Well, Uncle Harrison, I think I have a lot to work with here.
If that's all you need I'd better get back to the boss
before she gets suspicious.
This is fun, isn't it?
It is.
Good.

[drilling sounds]
Oh, those look fantastic.
Thanks.
What's that?
Oh, it's my perfumer notebook.
I use it to keep track of the measurements and ingredients
for the scents I'm designing.
I'm just a little nervous I'm not gonna be able
to find a few of the ingredients that I need.
What do you need?
Apple blossoms and vanilla pods.
I actually know just the place.
You know a place that has apple blossoms and vanilla pods?
I'll drive.
You are full of surprises, you know that?
[Ryan chuckles]
What do you think?
This is beautiful.
You know, one of my first jobs when I was a kid
was pruning all these trees.
-Really? -Yeah.
Oh, there's even some blossoms left.
Oh, yeah.
How did you know?
I see it every time I come by here.
I tend to notice trees. Part of my job.
-Mmm. -Yep.
You know, I lived here my entire life but three years away,
I have to admit I kinda forgot how stunning this place is.
See, I never forget.
Not me.
It took me a while to get back here,
but after my gramps passed and left me the store
I knew where my place was.
Do you want to pick some?
-Uh-huh. -Yeah?
Let's do it.
I see a good one. Can you help me?
Uh, yeah. Yeah, here.
Ok.
-You got it? -Yeah.
Ok.
Get it?

Vanilla pods next?
Where are we gonna find those?
Just over there. You'll see.
Ok.
Here.
Your basket.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Look what I found.
Oh, nice.
Oh, this is so great.
How did I not know this was here?
Well, it started last year.
Won an award on TV
and now it attracts tourists and visitors from all over.
Huh.
What award on tv?
The Summerville Artisan Awards.
It got featured in the national news
and Haven Orchard got a mention too.
Well, we need to get in this for sure.
Oh, yeah.
How do we apply?
I already tried. They said no to furniture.
Only consumables.
Well, I would think that perfume would count.
Plus, they'd have to walk past your furniture
to get to my perfumery.
You're right. Yeah.
You gonna enter? Just like that?
It's the last day to apply.
A selection of seasonal scents, custom bottles.
You haven't made any yet.
Well, then I better get started.
Right.
We gotta find you some scents then.
Mm-hm.
Um...
-How do these look? -These look great.
Excuse me.
What does this remind you of?
Oh, Johnny Spiteri's mom's ragu.
[laughs]
Ok.
And... my favorite.
Oh, Christmas eggnog.
See? You can get a whole world of memories from one scent.
You can even use them to express yourself.
Well, I'm not sure if they're as handy as sight, sound,
or opposable thumbs, but I am coming around to it.
Oh, it's definitely as handy as sight.
You can see with your nose.
-Oh, can you? -Yeah.
Even with your eyes closed?
Try me.
Ok, close your eyes.
Come with me.
All right.
I'm putting a lot of trust in you right now.
You're good, you're good.
-Stop. -Ok.
-No peeking. -I'm not peeking.
Now, I'm gonna pick something
and you are gonna tell me what it is.
I am.
Try this.
Um, it's a fruit.
[laughs]
Yeah.
Oh, what kind of fruit?
It's grape and licorice.
That's... pretty good.
Ok, but that was an easy one, though.
Ok, well, keep your eyes closed.
Ok, ready? Ok.
Is that beef?
[laughs]
Um, it's beef and concentrated- it's a pepper.
But it's not red pepper, it's... beef and green pepper.
I'm right, aren't I?
That's why you're not saying anything.
Ok, I'm gonna catch you on one of these.
Oh, there is no way that you are going to get this one.
Mmm.
What is it?
Uh, I know that one, it's uh... it's coal tar.
Ok, that's it. I give up.
That's the scent I got wrong in Paris.
Well, you officially have a freakishly good sense of smell.
Well there are people far more freakish than me in my business.
No one could outdo that.
But someone did. That's why I'm here.
Someone was better than me and I lost my dream job because of it.
Ok, I for one admire your tenacity.
You flew halfway across the world,
worked with the best people in your field...
you worked hard and you should be proud of yourself.
Thank you.
But now that you're over the Paris stuff,
do you think we could just polish the counter? Yeah?
-Fine. -Perfect.

You have to tap it for good luck.

it has a musky base scent.
Oh, bluebells.
You know, my mom used to take me on walks
through the bluebell fields when I was a kid.
The Virginia Bluebell.
Native only in North America.
The color and the smell is just so sweet.
Why aren't you taking a sample of that one?
I've just never worked with it before.
They don't have it in France.
Exactly, that's what makes them special.
Look, I'm even admitting that they're special to me, so...
Well, in that case I better grab some.
Rosalie: I can't believe you live this close to the orchard.
Ryan: Yeah.
Voila. Chez moi.
That's all the French I know.
[gasps]
Careful with that!
Sorry, they just all have been sterilized
so the scent doesn't get polluted.
Oh, ok.
Wow, you weren't exaggerating about the not cooking thing.
Very particular, aren't you?
I just like things to be tidy, that's all.
I can see that.
Well, I'm gonna go make some furniture stuff over there
and you can perfume away over here.
Thanks.
♪
Rosalie: Thanks for the takeout.
Ryan: It's my specialty.
[both laugh]
I saw one of those at the shop earlier.
It's really cool.
Thank you.
That is the famous Dubois love seat.
-Love seat? -Mm-hm.
It's just big enough where two people
can sit really closely together.
I never pegged you for the romantic type.
Well, it's a best-seller, so I can get very romantic for that.
I wonder if there's a way to combine your woodworking
and my perfume.
Like at Parfum de Paris they had these
little scented wooden balls with holes poked in them
where they put the perfume.
We can do way better than wooden balls.
Oh, really?
We could do better than the top perfumer in all of Europe?
Definitely.
Ok. What do you suggest?
I'll show you tomorrow.
Mmm. Can't wait.
♪
Baby, it's on front.
Wow, would you look at that?
You fell asleep in the rose garden, didn't you?
There is a lot of work to do.
There sure is.
Congratulations.
For what?
Well, you got in the Summerville Artisan Awards.
Semi-finals, anyway.
They announced it in the paper.
I love the name. Parfumerie de Rosalie.
You are gonna put this town on the map.
I didn't realize they'd decide so quickly.
And they included an opening night date.
No backing out now, sis.
I've already had half the PTA text me to say they're coming.
I am going back to work.
You keep that.
♪
Hey, Congratulations!
Hi, Uncle Harrison.
Oh, Rosalie!
Uh-huh?
I saw the article. How exciting.
Everyone in town is already talking about the opening.
[inhales]
How are you getting on with our big surprise?
It is all in hand, Uncle Harrison, don't worry.
It's gonna be great. I gotta run.
Bye.
Bye-bye.
Hmph.
[gasps]
Oh, my goodness! This looks marvelous.
Aunt Ruby, hi.
I hope you don't mind, dear.
I just couldn't wait to see what you've done with the place.
Everyone is absolutely buzzing.
It seems I've attracted a little more attention
than I was expecting.
So, where are the perfumes?
I'm still making them, but I'm getting there.
Are you gonna do the bottles with the big glass stoppers?
I love those.
As soon as I find a supplier.
Because the bottle is the icing on the cake.
It's at the top of my list.
By the way, have you seen Harrison today?
I did, briefly. Just on my way to work.
Does he seem ok to you?
He's been behaving strangely, hanging up on my phone calls.
I- I could be being paranoid
but I think he's talking about me to people.
I promise you it is nothing to worry about, Aunt Ruby.
-Morning, Ruby. -Morning, Rosalie.
Hi, Ryan.
Bye.
Is everything ok?
Is there a problem with the store?
No, no, no. The store looks fantastic.
Thank you.
Good.
It's just there is one teeny tiny little thing
you could maybe help me with.
This wouldn't have anything to do
with you getting into the semi-finals
for the Summerville Artisan Awards, would it?
-You already know? -Everyone knows.
It's the talk of the town.
Oh, dear.
Hey, that's great news.
Aren't you happy?
I would be if I was ready.
Where am I gonna find custom-made bottles
by the end of the week?
Hey, it's gonna be ok. You got a partner, remember?
You're not by yourself.
You can help?
Of course, I can help.
And I got another little surprise for you.
I think that's a little better
than the boring old balls, right?
This is stunning.
When did you make this?
Last night after you left.
It's actually not the first rose that I made you.
Your skills have improved since the sixth grade.
Oh jeez, thanks.
And you even drilled the little holes.
They're so tiny.
Well, I thought I had to prove that I could do better, so...
You blew it out of the water with this one.
Thank you.
I'm gonna include it in my entry to the awards.
This is really special. Thank you.
Oh, and I have a surprise for you.
-Oh, you do? -Mm-hm.
Smell it.
Virginia Bluebells.
I'm thinking of making it a signature scent
in the summer series.
You were right.
This is the scent of really wonderful memories
for a lot of people here.
It's where I am now, too.
I'm glad you're here.
I do still need the bottles, though.
You do. Hmm.
Lizzie: Rosie! Your tea is getting cold!
Coming, sorry!
Ok, we've got the strawberries in the blender
and the lid's on tight?
Yeah?
[whirring]
Nice.
And I've got our beeswax.
Why do you need the wax?
We're gonna make a solid perfume.
You'll see.
Now, we are gonna grab some of this lily essence.
You only wanna put a few drops in
'cause you don't wanna overwhelm the strawberry.
And give it a sniff.
Mmm. It smells so good.
Ok.
Can you grab?
And then give it a stir.
Does Ryan like strawberries?
I don't know, why?
Because mom said you've been spending a lot of time with him
and if he likes strawberries maybe you could wear this.
Did she?
Hmm. Your mommy needs to mind her own beeswax.
[giggles]
Ok, you've got your container ready?
Yep.
Now, the beeswax.
Perfect.
So now what?
Now, we wait for it to set.
Mmm, Aunt Rosie, you should make more of these.
My friends would love it.
You think so?
Woah.
Strawberry smoothie.
[laughs]
Could use a little sugar.
[laughing]
It could.
Why are we back here?
Because there's someone I want you to meet
who only is here on Wednesdays.
I met him through Annika.
And who's Annika?
My fiancée or- my ex-fiancée.
We broke up a couple of years ago.
Did she come here with you?
Well, Annika was my partner at the store.
She was gonna open a boutique at the back and sell furnishings
but it turns out small-town living wasn't for her.
She missed the city too much.
And big city living wasn't for you.
When I moved to the city when I was a kid
I missed it so much that I came back whenever I could.
Yeah, I have to admit I'd be on the metro in Paris
and we'd all be crammed in there
and I'd find myself daydreaming
about the scents in my grandmother's garden.
Even with all those people sometimes I would get so lonely.
Mm-hm.
Ryan.
Hey, man.
Hey, Marv.
It's good to see you.
You too, buddy.
Uh, this is Rosalie.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
She's opening a perfumery in my workshop.
This is Marv. He's a master glass blower.
So what're you guys looking for today?
We're looking for some glass bottles for the perfumes.
Glass bottles.
I think I got what you're looking for.
Take a look at that.
So, how's the furniture business going, Ryan?
It's picking up, getting some regular clients
but could always do with some more.
Well, you can always place a piece in here if you'd like.
Thanks, but I don't think
a bed or a wardrobe would fit in your stall, Marv.
Well...
No, but you could put a Dubois love seat on either side.
-Sure, I could do that. -Mmmhmm.
Actually, linking up with a local artist like Marv
would be a pretty great idea.
-Smart woman. -I guess she is.
Thank you.
These are amazing.
You like 'em?
What do you think? You think they'll work?
They're perfect.
Well, you can have 'em all for 50 bucks.
You've got yourself a deal, Marv.
All right.
You can put it on his tab.
-Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you, too.
So, Ryan, is she also your new agent?
No, she's uh, my partner.
Uh-huh. See ya, Ryan.
-Thank you. -Come again.
Can I help?
Are you sure?
You must have other work to do.
I do, but your opening's in two days
and it needs to go well for both of our sakes.
Thanks. You could start by rinsing these.
Sure thing.
You need to rinse each one three times
to make sure all the residue is gone.
Will do.
So did your boyfriend in France do dishes
to your high standards?
Oh, of course, and he cooked beautifully, too.
Oh.
Just kidding, no. No boyfriend.
Oh.
No, between studying and waitressing to pay rent
there was no time for...
Amour?
No, no time for amour.
Um...
What's wrong?
My finger.
Oh.
I think it's stuck.
[laughs]
Wow.
Don't laugh, I need to get it off.
Ok, ok, ok. Well, stay calm.
We will get it out of there.
Don't break it.
Oh, your finger or the bottle?
Both.
No promises.
Ok.
I've got this.
What're you doing?
I'm gonna get it off of there without breaking anything.
[squealing]
Ok, the important thing is to remain calm,
take a deep breath, and then on the count of three...
[squeals] One-
Oh. [laughs]
You said you were gonna count to three.
Yeah, but then you would have tensed up again.
There you go.
Thank you.
[message alert]
Oh, it's François from Parfum de Paris.
Oh, what's he want?
I must have sent him the picture of the roses
instead of Frank from the Summerville Artisan Awards.
So?
So François loves the idea and he wants a sample.
He said if he likes it
he's gonna stock it at the Paris store.
Well, it's a shame he didn't give you a job then.
His loss is our gain.
Parfum de Paris is a world-renowned brand.
Yeah, but we have the roses.
This is a huge opportunity
and it would pay very well for both of us.
Plus, we would be exporting to Europe.
Right.
Oh man. If only Gramps was here now,
he wouldn't believe the 'Dubois' made it back to France.
[message alert]
Oh, my gosh.
Poppy's ballet exam.
Oh, and I have a headboard to deliver.
-I can drive you. -Are you sure?
Yeah. Yeah. Later.
[laughs]
That performance really took it out of her.
I bet after her bath she falls right asleep.
She was absolutely beaming on stage,
you could really see how happy dancing makes her.
Funny thing was,
right before I dropped her off at her dressing room
she got a bit of stage fright and she almost didn't go on.
Then she remembered her special strawberry perfume.
Took one sniff and off she went like a total pro.
That's our girl.
She's brave like her mom.
Aww.
Feeling any better?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Really?
Yes. I'm a bit tired. I did take a nap today.
Do you remember the last time
you kept falling asleep at dinners?
That's when I was pregnant with Poppy.
Oh.
-No, I couldn't be. -You could be.
I have to buy a test.
We'll go get one in the morning.
You know what?
Even if I'm not,
today I was reminded that I have my little ballerina,
so that makes me a pretty lucky mom.
Yeah, it does.

Woah.
Oh-kaaay.
Nice touch with the hutch.

Oh, your samples.

They work.
Of course they work.
That smells great.
Thank you.
That is done and the shelves are done, I just need to...
That's one impressive list.
You gotta plan the work and work the plan.
Does the plan really need to include "paint toe nails red"?
The devil is in the details, ok?
Oh, yeah.
And I'll have you know that painting my nails will give me
the extra confidence boost I need for my opening party.
Well, as long as you don't expect me to paint mine.
Oh.
There it is.
Particular.
These labels are how my clients can identify my perfumes.
Some people like to have a little order in our workplace.

Well, maybe you haven't found the one you liked yet.

Ok.
It's nice, but kinda smells like my great Aunt Mamie's cushions.

It's fresh.
It kinda tastes like soap.

Same color.

Spent some of my best vacations here.
It's my happy place.

So I thought maybe before we got started
we could grab a bite to eat.
What's on the menu?
Fish maybe?
What do you mean, maybe?
Well, we have to catch it first.
Oh, no, no, no. I don't fish.
Sure you can.
I've never done it before.
Well, I've never advised anyone on cologne before, either,
so that makes two of us.
You can even have my lucky fishing jacket.
-Ready? -Yeah.
Ok, first things first.
You just gotta let some line out.
Ok.
So, it gets heavy in the water.
And then you go back and forth and feel the weight of it.
Ok.
And then you start to pick it up and see that momentum with it?
Yeah.
And then we try and find a good spot.
How long do we have to wait?
Ah, it can take a while sometimes.
Can I try?
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh! I think I got- yeah.
Here, here...
Ok, hold this and then reel it, yeah.
Oh yeah, keep the tip up.
Ok. Oh. Yeah, bring it in.
You got it. You got it. You got it.
Hey. Good job.
Nice. You caught a fish.
Uh, what now?
We eat?
Yeah.
I can't believe I did it.
You did it.
Another one of my favorite smells.
I'm not sure fish is ever gonna work in a cologne.
Ok. Not the fish, the wood.
Can you smell that?
Yeah. What kind of wood is that?
It's birch.
Well, that would make a great base note
with the pine needles overtop
and then we just need a hint of sweetness,

Freshly cut grass.
Exactly.
See, I listen.

Did it not arrive?
It arrived. It's perfect.

Perfect enough to offer me a job... in Paris.
Ok, but you're gonna say no, right?

Just wondering if you knew when Ryan would be back?
No, I don't.

What is this all about, Harrison?
My dear Ruby.
I knew the day I kissed you under that apple tree
when we were 17-years-old that you were the girl for me.
And you still are.
I could not have thought of a better way to have chosen
to spend the last 50 years than being married to you.
Oh, Harrison.
I wanted to give you something really special
to show you how much you mean to me and Rosalie helped me.
What?
I told Rosalie about all your favorite things
and she made you this perfume and we called it "Clementine".
Rosie made me my own perfume?
Aww.
Indeed she did, and it is the first and only bottle.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh. Oh.
Oh, I can smell the apple blossom, Harrison.
And is that-is that vanilla?
Mm-hm.
I love vanilla.
And I smell citrus. Is that orange?
Well, what do you think?
I think...
I think this is the most wonderful gift I have ever been given.

Thank you.
Look at, look at this.
A happy life is all about making the right choices, Rosie.

Ryan.
Ryan!
Oh.
Uh, I just wanted to...
thank you all for coming tonight.
The support from the community has been amazing,
and, of course, my family.
Lizzie, thank you for all this beautiful food
and for making sure that all of you came.
And Ted for the drinks.
But I guess the person, the friend,
that I need to thank the most is the one who gave me
this opportunity in the first place.
Who made this store a reality.
Ryan, you've not only built this with me,
you made me see that it's not Paris that's important.
It's the perfume.
And, more importantly, it's the people.

-We love you, honey! -Yay Rosie! Congratulations! -Great job!
-Hi. -Hi.
Did you like your cologne?
My cologne?
I named it after you. It's a surprise.
Can I keep it?
Yes.
Mmm.
It smells like the sweetest things in life.
It reminds me of you, and it reminds me of home.
And it reminds me of this wonderful place that we've built
