Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Ben Whishaw ) is in a dark cell. Only his nose is lit. He sniffs. Men rush into his cell and release him from chains. He is forces to walk to outside where thousands of people are yelling. The sentence of the court is read. Jean-Baptiste a murderer. He will be executed. People are excited. Jean starts recalling his past.

Narration tells us that Jean-Baptiste is the most talented person at scent in the world. In a fish market, we see raw fish. At that smelly place, a woman gives the birth of Jean-Baptiste. He is thrown on the fish. He smells fish, guts, meat, blood... he begins crying. People notices him, and the mother runs. People yell she is a murderer, and she is caught, and executed.

He is sent to a asylum. He smells a finger of the other boy, that is creepy for them. The other kids decide to kill him. But a woman finds them, and he survives. The other children feel something different about Jean-Baptiste.

Jean-Baptiste becomes 5 years old. He picks up things on the ground and smells them. He then smells the apple tree. He suddenly dodges a apple thrown from behind. He smells the dead rat at his bed. Other children look scared.

Jean-Baptiste becomes 13. He is lying on the ground, smells and tells what surrounds him without looking at them. He is sold to a man at the fish market. A woman at the asylum is killed by robber right after she sold him.

As working for the man, he dreams of exploring world for finding out smell.

Jean-Baptiste is grown. He finally walks outside the fish market. He is walking at the town. Its full of people and things. He smell things he never smelled before. We see many things that he is smelling. He puts down what he was carrying. And he smells something. It is a perfume shop. He walks toward it. He reaches to the window of the shop. There are ladies who are trying perfumes. The perfume is called Amor and Psyche. Jean-Baptiste seems quite interested. Then, he smells something. We see parts of body of a girl. He start walking to find her. He finds her on a road. It seems her scent is wonderful for him.

He chases her. He comes right behind her and starts smelling her. She, the Plum Girl (Karoline Herfurth), turns around and gets surprised. She seems nervous to look at him, but she offers some plums to him. He grabs her arm and smell it. That scares her and she runs away. A fireworks suddenly are fired. He starts chasing her.

The fireworks seems to make it hard to smell her scent. But he finally finds her. He smells her from distance. We see her hair, plum, arms, neck... He approaches from her back. He is smelling her and she turns around and screams. A couple comes from somewhere, and he has to suppress her with his hand. After the couple leaves, he realizes that she is dead. He lays her down, and starts striping her. She is naked. He smells her body crazily. After some time, it seems the scent of her is gone. He looks sad and disappointed. The master of the fish market beats him for running off.

He is at his bed. He can't sleep. He is shocked at the fact that he lost such a beautiful scent. He must learn how to preserve scents.

We see the river in Paris. Narration tells us about one of the perfumers in Paris whose name is Giuseppe Baldini (Dustin Hoffman). We see an old perfume shop of him. He used to make great perfumes, but he now lost his touch. Chenier (Timothy Davies) enters the shop. They talk about a perfume, called Amor and Psyche made by Pelissier. Chenier actually purchased the perfume for Baldini for testing it. They are talking about chords of the perfume. He goes upstairs saying not to let anyone get close to the shop because he needs silence for his study of perfumes. Chenier sighs.

At his study, he opens a drawer of a desk. He actually has the perfume. Beldinis wife (Dora Romano) comes in and he hides the bottle of perfume. She sets up some cloths for testing scents, she encourages him and leaves. As he pulls out the bottle, the house shakes. It seems that it is an usual thing for him. He starts testing. He carefully drops the perfume onto the cloth. He swipes the cloth and smells it. He says Wonderful... he did it again. He begins to examine the ingredients in the perfume. It seems to be hard for him to tell all of them. He just could tell Lime oil and Orange blossom, and he gives up.

Beldini is asleep in his study. Somebody knocks the door. He wakes up and opens the door. There is Jean-Baptiste outside for delivery. Beldini let him in. Jean-Baptiste looks at and smells gradients in Beldinis warehouse. Beldini tells him to put the packages he is carrying. Beldini walks away, and Jean-Baptiste turns around and says You want to make this leather smell good, don't you? Beldini stops and turns around and says yes. Jean-Baptiste continues with Amor and Psyche by Pelissier? Beldini ask him why he should use someone else's perfume. Jean-Baptiste replies that because Beldini wears it right now. He continues the perfume is bad because there are too much rosemary in it, and picks up 2 bottles and says too much of that and that. Beldini looks at them and says Bergamot and patchouli? Jean-Baptiste repeats the name of the scent, patchouli, patchouli... Beldini seems to be impressed, and asks him what else is in the perfume. Jean-Baptiste picks up bottles from shelves. Beldini looks at the labels of the bottles. Orange blossom, lime, rosemary... Jean-Baptiste picks up one more bottle, Beldini walks to it and reads, Storax? That's in it, too. Beldini says You have a fine nose, but... and Jean-Baptiste starts telling him that he has the best nose in Paris and he knows every smell in the world, only he doesn't know the names. He says he needs to learn them. Beldini get upset. He tells Jean-Baptiste that he should be a fine perfumer to detect the exact formula. He asks him, Could you tell me the exact formula of Amor and Psyche? Jean-Baptiste looks down and seems not to be able to answer. Beldini is kind of satisfied at the fact that Jean-Baptiste cant answer, and walks away. But Jean-Baptiste says, I don't know what a formula is, but I can make Amor and Psyche for you now. Beldini stops and turn around. He tells Jean-Baptiste that he wouldn't let him use the ingredients that are fortunes. But Beldini looks at Jean-Baptiste's face, and asks him his name. Beldini says he gives an opportunity to prove his sense. Jean-Baptiste asks him how much he wants of Amor and Psyche. He grabs a huge flask and says Shall I fill this flask? Beldini screams No! You shall not! and picks a small bottle and says You may fill this one. Jean-Baptiste says "Yes, master." and starts making Amor and Psyche with his own way. He doesn't measure anything. Beldini looks surprised at every single movement of Jean-Baptiste. Jean-Baptiste finishes putting ingredients and starts shaking the bottle. Beldini screams again to say not to shake it like that. Beldini yells at him that he knows nothing about perfume. But Jean-Baptiste puts the bottle down and says Its all done with a confident face. Beldini stares at it and Jean-Baptistes face, and pull out his handkerchief. He puts a drop of the perfume Jean-Baptiste just made, and smells it. Beldini seems shocked, and says ...This is Amor and Psyche. Jean-Baptiste says But it is not a good perfume, master. Beldini looks confused. Jean-Baptiste says he can make more better perfume. Jean-Baptiste runs and starts grabbing ingredients from every where. Beldini just looks at him opening his mouth. Jean-Baptiste starts adding ingredients to the bottle and shakes carefully. And he hands it to Beldini. Beldini stands up and says I'm not in the mood to test it now. He makes Jean-Baptiste leave. Before he leaves, he asks Beldini if he can work for him. He says I have to learn how to keep a smell. Can you teach me about that? Beldini just shut the door.

Beldini come back to the laboratory and picks the bottle of perfume Jean-Baptiste just made it. He opens the bottle and smells it. Suddenly, the background becomes a garden full of flowers, and a beautiful lady walks toward him and kisses him saying I love you. Beldini is at the fish market. He pays 50 francs to buy Jean-Baptiste. Right after selling Jean-Baptiste, the fish master dies in an accident.

Jean-Baptiste starts working at Beldini's lab. Because of the perfumes Jean-Baptiste makes are so great, Beldini's shop is full of customers and Beldini gets a fortune again. Beldini is teaching Jean-Baptiste the essences of perfume. He tells him Each perfume contains three chords: the head, the heart and the base, necessitating 12 notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume, lasting several days. Beldini sits down with smile and continues, Mind you, the ancient Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others. Legend has it that an amphora was once found in a pharaohs tomb, and when it was opened. A perfume was released, after all those thousands of years, a perfume of such subtle beauty, and yet such power, that for one single moment every person on earth believed that were in paradise. 12 essences could be identified, but the 13th, the vital one, could never be determined. Beldini looks satisfied about having told the story of this legend. But Jean-Baptiste asks him, Why not? Beldini looks disappointed and leave. Jean-Baptiste is on his knees, to look at the bottles of the 12 notes of Beldini. He remembers the Plum Girl. He is dreaming of the girl, and Beldini wakes Jean-Baptiste up. Jean-Baptiste grabs him and begs him, Master, I have to learn how to capture scents and reprise it forever. Teach me and I will make you the best perfume in whole world. Beldini smiles.

Thousands of roses are carried into Beldini's lab. Beldini is telling Jean-Baptiste that 10,000 roses are needed to produce one single ounce of essential oil. He tells him to keep the roses fresh. Beldini and Jean-Baptiste sets up a some kind of mechanism. He sets fire and put water in the mechanism. Roses are put in it and begins to be boiled. Beldini tells Jean-Baptiste that the mechanism is to condense the scent of roses to essential oil. He talks about the town called Grasse. He says the town is The Rome of scents. The promised Land of perfume. No man can rightly call himself a perfumer unless he has proved his worth in that hallowed place. When he pours wine to a glass, the house shakes. Not to worry. Happens all the time. Night. Beldini is asleep. Jean-Baptiste is staring at the mechanism. The oil begins coming down. Jean-Baptiste wakes Beldini up. Beldini tells him The very soul of the rose.

帕特里克·聚斯金德是德国近年来最受欢迎的作家之一。《香水》是他的代表作。作品讲述了一个奇才怪杰谋杀二十六个少女的故事。其每一次谋杀都是一个目的:只是因为迷上她们特有的味道。对格雷诺耶来说，每一次都是一场恋爱，但是他爱的不是人，而是她们身上的香味;谋杀她们只是为了要永远占有，并且拥有他所爱的那种没有感觉，没有生命的"香味"…… 本书不是一本通俗的惊险小说，它是一部构思奇特，充满幻想，寓意深刻的严肃作品。小说自1985年出版以来，连续几年高踞德国畅销书排行榜的前十名，已被翻译成四十种文字。作者帕特里克·聚斯金德也因此成为德国近年来最受欢迎的作家.

聚斯金德1949年出生在德国南部巴伐利亚州的施塔恩贝格湖畔，早年学过钢琴，后又攻读历史，曾作过西门子公司的文秘，在酒吧舞厅里打过工，甚至还当过乒乓球陪练。广博的历史知识和不同的生活经历使他思维活跃，想象力极其丰富。在大学念书时，聚斯金德就尝试撰写短篇散文和长篇的影视剧本，但都未能发表或被采用。此后，他一度靠给电视台写剧本为生。1980年聚斯金德创作出第一部个人作品——独幕单人话剧《低音提琴》，次年该剧首演便获好评，随即成为欧洲话剧舞台上长盛不衰的经典剧目。四年之后，他的第一部小说《香水》问世，该书一经推出便迷倒了众多读者，先后被译成近四十种语言，各种版本在全世界的总发行量高达1200万册。在随后的几年里，聚斯金德又陆续出版了《鸽子》和《夏先生的故事》两部小说，均得到了读者和评论界的交口称赞，从而奠定了他在当代德语文坛引人注目的地位。

与同时代的德国作家相比，聚斯金德文学创作的产量并不高，作品的篇幅亦不大，但其丰富、奇特的想象力，深邃的思想含义，耐人寻味的故事情节，隽永的寓意和精湛的文笔，却给人留下了极为深刻的印象。《香水》像一部充满神秘色彩的传奇，聚斯金德运用现实主义的叙事手法，惟妙惟肖地刻画出十八世纪法国巴黎一个怪才格雷诺耶“寻香杀女人”的离奇一生。而在《鸽子》一书中，聚斯金德又充分发挥了自己细腻入微的心理描写技巧，把巴黎一家银行门卫诺埃尔的意识流动和内心独白栩栩如生地呈现在人们眼前。忠于职守、老实巴交的诺埃尔，三十年如一日地蜗居在自己的小屋里，过着平淡孤寂、与世无争的生活。然而一天早晨，一只突然出现在门口的鸽子却让他惊慌失措，六神无主。于是，往日的平静全被打破，包括衣、食、住、行和本职工作在内的所有的生活细节均受到干扰，主人公的精神世界濒临崩溃的边缘。这一切莫名其妙的混乱，直到那只带来不祥之兆的鸽子悄然离去时才随之平息，一切又复归原样。《低音提琴》中主人公愤世嫉俗而又无可奈何的大段自我解嘲，极为贴切地反映了失意者的矛盾心态。而《夏先生的故事》则通过孩童之口，以诙谐幽默且不乏讽刺意味的生动、形象的叙述，道出了作者对人间事物的真实看法。从这些题材和体裁不尽相同的作品上，可以看出聚斯金德编织故事的杰出才华和驾驭德语的深厚功底。

迄今为止，聚斯金德的文学创作几乎都远离鸿篇巨制和重大题材，而总是把视点放在那些没有社会地位的小人物身上，对他们的喜怒哀乐和酸甜苦辣给予了深切的同情。无论是人生不得志的低音提琴手，还是孤家寡人的银行门卫，或者“一意孤行”的夏先生，甚至那个残忍的“香水杀手”，都属于与时尚格格不入并为上流社会所不屑一顾的“圈外人”（Aussenseiter）。聚斯金德借助对这些人物命运的描写，展示了后工业社会中人们普遍存在的困惑、恐惧、沮丧、不安、无奈，及其悲观的内心世界和荒诞反常、难以理喻的怪异行为，从而成为德国后现代主义的代表作家之一。

聚斯金德生性腼腆，不爱张扬，平日深居简出，行迹难觅。和一般知名作家不同的是，他的一部作品问世后，自己便远离媒体的喧嚣，下一本书总要等上好几年才会露脸，而且不鸣则已，一鸣惊人。加上作品内容亦真亦幻，故事情节似有似无，使这位天才作家在德语文坛上显得若隐若现，飘忽不定。人们已习惯了他在瞬间闪光发亮之后，就消失得无影无踪，直到他又一部脍炙人口的佳作幽然冒出。

聚斯金德作品系列，包括新译的《低音提琴》和《夏先生的故事》，以及新版《香水》、《鸽子》

在影片筹备初期雷德利·斯科特曾被定为导演。蒂姆·伯顿也曾是导演人选之一。对此片表示兴趣的导演还包括米洛斯·福曼和马丁·斯科西斯。最终小成本奇迹《疾走罗拉》的制造者汤姆·蒂克威成为本片导演，这部合拍片获得了德国北莱茵西发里亚邦电影基金会以75万欧元资助，总投资达5000万欧元，这次蒂克威的预算足以完成这部德国背景的另类制作所需的电脑特效。汤姆·蒂克威希望能吸引众多观众，达到这一目的靠的不是主人公的怪异性格，看点在于，原著中丰富、奇特的想象力，深邃的思想含义都得到了很好的诠释。他说：“作者聚斯金德为这个人物巧妙安排如此多‘面’是很异乎寻常的设计，就此来说，人们在这个人物身上发现了什么共性，那是绝对可能的。他身上具有自古以来的矛盾：不懂得如何与人交往，如何推销自己。其实我们每个人在社交之中都多多少少的有这样的问题，需要在社交中推销自己，而又无所适从，逐渐在研习中寻找一种适合自己的方式。”

　男主角正冉冉升起的年轻英国戏剧新星Ben Whishaw出演，他在独立影片《My Brother Tom》中的表演为其赢得了不少称赞和奖项，其在伦敦剧场界更以哈姆雷特一角引起轰动。影片的明星阵容包括艾美和金球奖得主，也是我们熟悉的出演了《哈利 ·波特》、《理智与情感》等影片的“斯内普教授”——英国演员阿伦·瑞克曼。两届奥斯卡得主、老牌影星达斯汀·霍夫曼的在片中饰演男主角年迈的意大利籍香料师傅，则是影片另一大看点。

书中讲述了一个发生在18世纪巴黎的故事，主人公格雷诺耶是一个有特异功能的连环杀手，他生在巴黎的一个臭鱼摊子，但天生对香水有着匪夷所思的辨别能力，为了制作香水，格雷诺耶杀害了数十名少女，以摄取其香味。《香水》写于上世纪80年代，当时现代小说正走入过于观念化、晦涩难懂的死胡同，而《香水》的古典式写法、生动和抓人的情节成了西方小说界的一剂解毒针。《香水》一诞生就极其畅销，并引领了新的小说潮流。被人们誉为“20世纪最著名德国小说。人的感官当中，嗅觉比较独特，它的有效范围并不狭窄(比味觉和触觉广，几乎和视觉听觉差不多)，但缺乏交流和沟通。给爱人买香水会兴奋，美食当前会兴奋，在公交车里的浓郁女士旁边也会兴奋，除此之外少有嗅觉的激动。我们见惯了歌颂色彩线条赞美旋律节奏的文字，但以气味为主人公的伟大作品，《香水》几乎是第一部。篇首出现的描写气味的那一大段，注定是要成为经典的：“在我们所说的那个时代，各个城市里始终弥漫着我们现代人难以想象的臭气。……”

鉴于作者对感觉的描绘特别细致，首先要说的是，这是一本需要动用多种感官体验去“看”的书。用你的鼻子，如果还嫌不够深刻的话，就闭着眼睛，像小说的主人公格雷诺耶一样，去追寻被各种各样气息所遮蔽了的香味。 有一点神秘兮兮的是不是？事实上，每一个人读这本书的感受并不相同，但有一点是共同的，那就是仿佛是在进行恢复嗅觉训练，在慢慢找回失去了的感觉。说是对香水的重新认识或体验也不错，你绝对不会在别的小说里看到这么细致的对香水制作过程和香味的描写。是的，我已经用了两次“细致”这个词，我得说，在《香水》面前，我很贫乏。

直到现在，我仍然愿意和人分享书中对香水的最高评价。香水店老板巴尔迪尼第一次闻到格雷诺耶配置的香水，他看见自己“躺在一个有黑色卷发的妇女怀里，看到窗台上玫瑰花丛的侧影，一阵夜风吹过窗台；他听到被驱散的鸟儿歌唱，听到远处码头上一家小酒馆传来的音乐；他听到紧贴着耳朵的窃窃私语，他听到‘我爱你’，发觉自己由于幸福而毛发直竖，就在现在，在现在这一刻。”他因此给这种香水命名为“那不勒斯之夜”，以纪念他的爱情。

这本小说就是有这样的魔力，让你沉醉其中而不能自拔，以致于渐渐忘记了有血腥的谋杀事件在发生，甚至觉得自己喜欢上了那种既恐怖又糜烂的气息。你会一看再看，然后迷离。

据说《香水》自1985年出版以来，一直在畅销书榜的前十位停留，有27种文字的译本。一本严肃小说竟能畅销至斯，我想大概只有《挪威的森林》可以与它相提并论。
