PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER

The story revolves around Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose incomparable sense of smell and inexplicable lack of a personal scent isolates him from society.

Obsessed with the rich sensory world he alone inhabits, his single objective in life becomes the preservation of the perfect scent: the skin of young, beautiful virgins.


He kills 13 young women, each time successfully conserving their scent.
After gaining the 13 bottles of different scents, he completes his work by mixing them all together into one bottle of one perfect perfume.
The scent smells like love, innocent pure love.
After smelling it everybody in the town square took off their cloths and start to make love.
They said he's an angel. And abandon the idea that he should be punished.
I think he should be punished.
Angel won't kill people.
Since he killed 13 innocent girl, he should be sentenced to death.

In the end, he realizes that even the scent does not help him to love and be loved.
In Paris, in the presence of a group of homeless people, he pours all the remaining scent over his head.
The group of people become entranced and pile up on top of him.
They devour him, leaving only his clothes and the empty bottle on the street.
