Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw) was born in 1744. An orphaned, sickly child, he survives only thanks to his one gift: his sense of smell. Grenouille has no passion other than smells, and every second of his life is guided by his hyper-developed sense. Living a miserable life, the young man manages to get hired as an apprentice to a great Parisian master perfumer, Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman). There he learns the techniques and secrets of perfume making, which take his talent to unimagined heights. After creating several olfactory masterpieces, Grenouille becomes obsessed with the ideal scent, a scent that would instantly seduce anyone within range. In search of the right ingredients, Grenouille is irresistibly drawn to the natural scent of certain young women. He will not hesitate to kill to steal it.
