In 1738 Paris, a baby named Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born beneath a fishmonger’s stall and abandoned. Raised as an unwanted orphan, he quickly seems strange—most disturbingly, he has no scent of his own.
Yet Grenouille possesses an extraordinary gift: a supernatural sense of smell. He can detect the hidden essence of everything around him—objects, places, even people—reading the world through scent in ways no one else can.
As he grows, his obsession becomes finding the perfect scent—the essence of life itself. Apprenticed to a perfumer, he masters the art and creates fragrances that captivate Paris. But his ambition darkens, driving him on a terrifying quest to capture the most perfect scent imaginable, no matter the cost.
