He soon surpasses his master at the art of mixing scents, but they alsao become his obsession, an obsession that drives him away from human company. Possessed by the idea of preserving human aromas, he unscrupulously murders young women whose scent turns his head. The drama takes its course when Grenouille meets the beautiful Laura (Rachel Hurd Wood), who for him has a supernatural kind of scent, on theway to the perfume metropolis, Grasse. While further unexplained murders occur, Laura's father, the merchant Richis(Alan Rickman), suspects that his daughter's life is also in great danger. A real cat-and-mouse game of cose fatherly love and deadly passion begins.
