Based on the bestselling novel by Patrick Suskind, "Perfume" is a
story of murder and obsession set in 18th-century France. Jean-
Baptiste Grenouille has a unique talent for discerning the scents and
smells that swirl around him, which he uses to create the world's
finest perfumes. Strangely lacking any scent of his own, he becomes
obsessed with capturing the irresistible but elusive aroma of young
womanhood. As Grenouille's obsession turns deadly, twelve young girls
are found murdered. Panic breaks out as people rush to protect their
daughters, while an unrepentant and unrelenting Grenouille still lacks
the final ingredient to complete his quest.
