About this product

Product Information

Survivor, genius, perfumer, killer: this is Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. He is abandoned on the filthy streets of Paris as a child, but grows up to discover he has an extraordinary gift: a sense of smell more powerful than any other human's. Soon, he is creating the most sublime fragrances in all the city. Yet there is one odor he cannot capture. It is exquisite, magical: the scent of a young virgin. And to get it he must kill. And kill. And kill.

  • Perfect Scent

    Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a true modern classic that allows you to explore a different 18th-century France and a whole other type of humanity. Perfect for anyone who loves satire or an anti-hero. It’s dark, it’s sadistic, it’s delicious.I read it on my bus journey to work, a few times I have nearly missed my stop, you get lost in this book.
