Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
Eighteenth-century France: Jean-Baptiste Grenouille ( Ben Whishaw) - a genius, a monster, a murderer - notoriously obsessed with smell.
Born with one sublime gift - an absolute sense of smell - he lives to detect any odour on earth. But he himself has no scent of his own. He apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of extracting the scent from precious oils and herbs. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the most powerful perfume in the world - made of the scent of young virgins.
