We are directly immersed in the Paris dirty, filthy, rotten, stinking smell in a Paris ... eighteenth century where a young woman will give birth to a child, for it is nothing and whose body will be scanned the next morning. But newborn is resisting and decides to live. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille wants to know the world.
It grows slowly but it's scary, it is not like other children, it does not smell ... Nothing! It does not feel clean, not dirty, it does not release anything and it scares. In addition, it has a peculiarity, he feels things, he learns the objects through their scent, he can say where the money just by smelling his scent in a room, it can include all sorts of tree just by their scent ... He has an extraordinary nose.
He became a master perfumer at the head but to discover a technique to remove the smell of a human, that of a young red-haired girl in the flower of age which attracts, delights, excites ...
It's really a surprising novel, imaginative, original, which takes us to the land of odors but failed to touch me.
I enjoyed the descriptions by odors, whether those who feel good or bad.
I also liked the Frog personality, he is cold, hates the human soul, he just wants to succeed and be recognized as the best. This really is an exceptional murderer.
More ...
I found that the novel dragged sideways, especially the seven years he isolates himself in his room Auvergne cave bats and drink water dripping for one hour ... Do we have are we not promised the story of a murderer but between the first victim Mirabelle and the next, he spends eternity.
I really thought there was no harm young women's murders descriptions, which will serve as training and perfume ... Only the redhead who is described as he there were dozens forward to perfect the art of sampling scents.
I wanted dropped repeatedly to take anything else, I'm glad I got to the end because I found the universe interesting but I am also disappointed with the promise of the abstract.
