The old perfume workshop inside Whiterose Tower has seized up, and the last thing Awen needs before she can blend anything is a working drive gear. That means two separate obstacles: an Ancient Iron Crate sitting on a rail, and a boulder wedged into the machinery above. Both are solved with force rather than cleverness.
Quick answer: Twine with a powerful Aniimo, push the Ancient Iron Crate down its track until it reaches the stone wall, use it to reach the upper walkway, and break the rock blocking the drive gears.
Where the workshop objective appears in A Fragrant Journey: Rosetower Woods
This is the closing task of A Fragrant Journey: Rosetower Woods, the fourth section of the Legend of Flowers and Thorns chain. Rosetower Woods sits in the Breezy Plains at region levels 44 to 51, so bring a party that can survive the trip in. The section starts from the clue “A Perfumer Who Ventured Deep into Danger?”, and Awen only appears during the day.
Everything before the workshop repair has to be done first. In short order, that means:
- Meet Awen in Rosetower Woods, then again at Whiterose Tower.
- Find a way inside and read her grandparents’ perfumer notes.
- Twine with a Dewy, collect nectar from the tower’s top, then brew it in the Dewy nest.
- Bring Awen the Whitesnow Rose Aromathyst.
Only after that does the workshop itself become the target, with Awen standing beside the blackboard and the distillation apparatus, explaining the crate-pushing mechanism and how Cubbos send iron crates slamming into stone walls.

The crate and its rail are a standard overworld puzzle type across Idyll. Push a damaged iron box onto a matching Ancient Lithorail track and it slides along the rails at speed, carrying its momentum into whatever sits at the far end. Here, the far end is a stone wall, and the collision is the point — the crate is meant to wedge against it and become a platform.
Ancient-patterned crates elsewhere in the world often respond to the Pathfinder’s Gravity Pull instead of raw attacks, so read the on-screen prompt before you start swinging. In the workshop, the prompt is a ram.
Ram the iron crate and clear the jammed drive gears

How to confirm perfume production is restored
The confirmation is visual and immediate. Once the rock breaks, the camera cuts to the freed machinery and the gears start turning smoothly again inside the ruined workshop, and the objective ticks off in your tracker. If the gears are still stuck, the boulder has not been fully destroyed — hit it again rather than looking for a second switch.

A Fragrant Journey: Rosetower Woods rewards
| Reward | Amount |
|---|---|
| Safaris | 1,000 |
| Glimmer | 30 |
| Credits | 22,500 |
| Sparkling Crystals | 30 |
| Home (legendary perfume) | 1 bottle |
Chapter progress pays out separately, with a Report Card at 25, 50 and 75 percent completion and an Irisalis Petal at 100 percent.
Once the workshop runs again, Awen blends Home and hands it over. That bottle is not just a souvenir of the section — it is the legendary perfume that restores the white color of the Rosetower Colorless Dream during Fragrant Dream, so hold onto it rather than filing it away and forgetting where it came from.
