Survivor, genius, perfumer, killer: this is Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. He is abandoned on the filthy streets 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 Paris. 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 …
Fascinante relato de un asesino que quiere sintetizar el perfume perfecto. La mezcla de la historia y el arte de la perfumería con las divagaciones internas del asesino y la vida cotidiana del París del XVIII me resultó fascinante. Muy recomendable.
