A dark, visually sumptuous descent into obsession and murder driven by a genius outsider's inhuman pursuit of perfection through scent.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born in the stench of 18th century Paris, develops a superior olfactory sense, which he uses to create the world's finest perfumes. However, his work takes a dark turn as he tries to preserve scents in the search for the ultimate perfume.
