Plot
Based on Patrick Suskind's masterpiece "Perfume", "Perfume: the Story of a Murderer" tells the unusually smelly life of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) in 18th century France. Orphaned, then systematically rejected because of his lack of smell, Grenouille slowly realizes his unique talent: he can smell things no one else can and intend to rule using this gift. Sadly he is distracted by the powerfully delightful scent of young girls which he ends up killing. His life takes him across France in search of ways of preserving scents and when he is finally ready to capture the scent of the most beautiful girl in the land, he prepares methodically his killing bouquet. Grenouille, a most talented perfumer, manufactures a perfume for himself based on the killed women scents and ends up killed, in a frenzy of too much love.
