Synopsis

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 odour he cannot capture. It is exquisite, magical: the scent of a young virgin. And to get it he must kill. And kill. And kill…

Reviewer: Margaret Raynor.

'I read this book with a mixture of horror and loathing, but at the same time excited by the wealth of interest and information. A most amazing book. Never read anything else like it.'
