About This Book
An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic
novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's
indulgence in his greatest passion-his sense of smell-leads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille
is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to
decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who
teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's
genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed
with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood.
Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an
ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"-the scent of a
beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a
hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.
