00:00In the 18th century, a man called Jean is in a cell waiting for his sentence.
00:04A bunch of guards come to drag him out and present him to a furious crowd,
00:07who yell and ask for justice as a lord reads the sentence. In two days,
00:11Jean will be bound to a cross and beaten up with an iron rod to then be hung to death.
00:15This started a few years ago in Paris. In a horribly smelling market,
00:19a woman attending to her stall starts having contractions and has the baby right there,
00:22letting him drop to the ground. Since all her previous babies were stillbirths,
00:26she assumes this one is dead too so she cuts the cord and pushes him into the leftover fish guts
00:30before going back to work. This baby is Jean and soon takes his first breath,
00:34which gets him to smell all the horrid scents from the market. When Jean cries for the first time,
00:38all the people in the market hear him and accuse the mother of trying to kill him.
00:42The mother tries to run away, but the crowd catches her and she's executed.
00:45Afterward Jean is sent to Madame Guillard's orphanage, where there already are so many
00:49kids that they sleep in piles. When the baby is left in one of these many piles,
00:53the children are annoyed by his presence. A boy tries to poke him but Jean grabs the finger and
00:57smells it, which creeps everyone out. The children decide to kill Jean with a pillow and when he
01:02starts crying, Madame Guillard comes over to save him and whips the children for their misbehavior.
01:06Years pass and by age five, Jean still can't talk. The other kids think he's a weirdo and avoid him,
01:11so Jean spends his time using his unique talent. It turns out he has a superior olfactory sense that
01:16allows him to identify any scent, even if it's far away or it's something that isn't supposed to smell.
01:21At this age Jean still can't differentiate good from bad smells, he just likes exploring
01:25and discovering new scents. Sometimes he even smells dead animals, and the other kids would
01:30throw rotten fruit at him for being creepy. Eventually Jean learns to talk and to tell what
01:34objects are around him with his eyes closed by just using his nose. By the time he turns 13,
01:39Madame Guillard sells Jean to Grimald, the owner of a tannery. Jean becomes an apprentice and
01:43Guillard gets some money, but on her way home, she gets robbed and killed. Life expectancy in the
01:48tannery is five years, but Jean proves he's tough and works hard every day,
01:52dreaming of visiting the city someday to explore more scents. After several years pass of Jean
01:56working over ten hours a day, Grimald finally takes Jean with him to the city to make a delivery.
02:01As Jean walks through the crowded streets, he lets his nose absorb all the new scents no matter if
02:05they're good or bad. When Grimald gets busy making the delivery, Jean lets his nose guide him to a
02:09particularly wonderful scent that comes from a shop. It's a perfume called Amor and Psyche and as Jean
02:14watches the Creator, he learns that scents can be mixed to make new ones. Suddenly, Jean catches the
02:19sweetest scent he's ever smelled and instantly becomes fascinated with it. He runs after it and
02:23discovers it comes from a red-haired woman selling plums. He begins following her around town and when
02:28he gets close enough, he sniffs her shoulder. The woman is startled and tries to communicate with him,
02:32but Jean doesn't answer. She tries offering him some plums and Jean responds by burying his nose in her
02:38hand, causing her to get scared and run away. Refusing to give up, Jean tracks her scent and after
02:42dodging the people throwing fireworks, she finds the woman sitting at a table. He sneaks behind her
02:47to smell her for a while until she turns around and sees him. The woman is about to scream, but Jean
02:52covers her mouth just in time and drags her into the shadows when he hears a noise. A couple walks
02:56by and Jean waits for them to be gone to let go of the woman, only to discover he's accidentally
03:00suffocated her to death. He isn't upset for long though, soon he's taking the woman's clothes so he can
03:05smell her from head to toe. However as minutes pass, the body loses its living scent and Jean despairs.
03:11That night, Grimald beats him up for running off. Then Jean can't sleep because he keeps thinking
03:15about the woman's scent and decides his goal in life is a way to preserve someone's scent to never
03:19lose it again. Meanwhile Giuseppe laments his lack of clients. He used to be the best perfumer in the
03:24country, but since his rival made Amor and Psyche, clients won't come to him anymore. Desperate to
03:29revive his business, Giuseppe tries to figure out the formula of Amor and Psyche but no matter how much
03:34he smells it, he can't get it right. One night, Jean brings a delivery for Giuseppe, who allows him to
03:39enter his lab to drop the order. Jean is amazed by all the ingredients and smells, and he can tell
03:44that Giuseppe has been experimenting with Amor and Psyche. He tells him what ingredients he's missing,
03:48claiming to be the best nose in Paris. Giuseppe is skeptical and tells Jean to prove himself.
03:53Without hesitation, Jean begins mixing all the ingredients, ignoring Giuseppe when he scolds him
03:58for not using the right techniques. When Jean's done, Giuseppe is shocked to discover he's perfectly
04:02recreated Amor and Psyche, but Jean says it's not a good perfume yet. He quickly starts mixing again,
04:08but Giuseppe is angry that someone inexperienced has bested him so he kicks Jean out.
04:12Afterward Giuseppe smells the second perfume Jean made and the wonderful smell makes him feel in
04:16heaven. The next day, Giuseppe buys Jean from Grimaule, who happily accepts the money and gets
04:21drunk with it. When he leaves the tavern, he tries to dodge an incoming carriage and falls, hitting his
04:26head and falling into the river where he dies. Meanwhile Jean starts working as Giuseppe's apprentice,
04:31learning all about the trade and creating a variety of wonderful perfumes that pushes Giuseppe's shop
04:35back into being the best in town. Giuseppe teaches Jean that perfume is made of 12 notes and that a
04:39legend speaks of the perfect 13th essence that could be added to dominate the others, but it's
04:43never been found. These words make Jean think about the woman he killed and that night he dreams of her.
04:48Remembering his life goal, Jean asks Giuseppe to teach him how to preserve any scent.
04:52The next day, Giuseppe teaches Jean how to extract the essence of 10,000 roses by boiling them at the
04:57right temperature until the oil condenses and drops into a tiny flask. It takes a lot of waiting,
05:02but eventually the machine releases the rose oil, and Jean is so impressed that he starts
05:06experimenting on his own. He grabs random things from the street like chains and a horseshoe,
05:10and puts them inside the device, hoping to get their sense. In the morning, Giuseppe wakes up when
05:15he hears loud noises coming from his lab. He rushes there to discover Jean having a breakdown and the
05:20boy accuses him of lying because his system can't extract the smell of anything, just a few things.
05:24Giuseppe can't believe that Jean has been trying to get the scent of metals, which aren't supposed to
05:28smell. When Giuseppe checks inside the machine, he's horrified to discover Jean has put his cat
05:33in it, trying to get its scent as well. Giuseppe yells at Jean, telling him he can't distill the
05:38scent of a living being, and suddenly Jean passes out. After such a revelation, Jean quickly falls ill.
05:43Giuseppe is devastated and pays for good doctors to take care of Jean, but they can't even tell what
05:48he has. On his deathbed, Jean asks if there's any other method to extract a scent, so Giuseppe tells him
05:53about Influrridge, a technique only used in the city of Grass. This information immediately helps
05:58Jean and in just a few days, he's healthy again. Now Jean wants to travel to Grass but he'll need
06:02the proper paperwork, so Giuseppe grants it to him in exchange for 100 new perfume formulas.
06:07After Jean leaves, Giuseppe goes to bed feeling very happy, but suddenly his house crumbles and kills him.
06:12On his way to Grass, Jean finally gets to explore the countryside and his mood greatly improves thanks to
06:17the pure air. Instead of taking the short roads through various towns, Jean decides to walk through the
06:22mountains to keep breathing clearly. He ends up climbing to the top of a mountain and hiding
06:26inside a cave, where for the first time he can only smell one thing, the scent of dead stone.
06:31The lack of thousands of smells overwhelming him makes him relax so much that he ends up staying
06:35there for several years, and he would've stayed longer if it wasn't for the dreams of the plum
06:38woman. When Jean finally comes out again, he washes his body in the rain and realizes that he doesn't
06:43have a scent like everybody else, making him feel like a nobody. That moment he swears he would
06:47prove to the world that he's exceptional. Afterward Jean finally keeps traveling and when he's about to reach
06:52grass, he catches an amazing scent, even better than the plum woman's. A carriage suddenly passes
06:57by and he discovers the scent belongs to the beautiful Laura. Excited, Jean runs all the way
07:02to grass and follows his nose until he makes it to a fancy mansion, so he sneaks inside the garden and
07:06watches Laura from afar. He gets as close as he can to smell her scent, but his time is cut short when
07:11her father Richie sends her back inside. The next day, Jean starts working in a perfume shop where he learns
07:16the art of inflourage under the supervision of Druod. The process consists of pressing flowers into animal fat
07:22and boiling them in a large container to extract their essence. One night, a couple is fooling
07:26around in the barn, but the boy leaves when the girl teases him too much and she ends up stuck.
07:31Soon Jean shows up pretending to help her, but he actually kills her. Moments later,
07:35the girl ends up covered in fat and inside the container as Jean hopes to get her scent.
07:39In the morning, a woman comes by with a flower delivery, so Jean has to cover the container before
07:43the body is discovered. Druod almost catches him too, but Jean pretends he covered the container to
07:48protect the flowers from the sun. In the end, this process doesn't extract the girl's scent,
07:53so Jean has to think of something else. In the evening, he hires a street worker,
07:57who brings her dog along. However instead of doing the dirty, he begins covering her in animal fat.
08:02When he takes out a blade to scrape off the fat, the woman freaks out and cancels their transaction.
08:07Jean won't give up so he quickly kills her and carries on his new technique.
08:10After cutting off her hair, he wraps her entire body in animal fat and a piece of cloth.
08:15A few hours later, Jean scrapes off the fat and puts it through a whole complicated process that
08:19finally extracts the scent of a human being. The next morning while the locals find the abandoned
08:23body, Jean tests the scent by putting just a drop on his hand. The woman's dog immediately runs to him,
08:29thinking it has smelled its owner. Pleased with himself, Jean puts this scent in the first bottle
08:33out of 13, planning to find all the right notes for the perfect perfume. Sometime later, Jean sneaks into
08:38Laura's birthday party to spy on her. She and her friends decide to play hide and seek in the garden maze,
08:43and when Laura is alone, she can see Jean's shadow nearby. When he tries to catch her,
08:48she thinks it's part of the game and runs away, only to be caught by a friend instead.
08:52Jealous, Jean throws a rock to destroy the lamp above them, which sends Laura running again.
08:57Soon Richie's ends the game but the party's mood changes when they discover two girls are missing.
09:01Meanwhile Jean is putting those two girls through the fat and rap process to extract their scents,
09:06which he adds to his collection. When Druat comes over to yell at Jean for ignoring his work,
09:10he smells the amazing scent on Jean's hand and immediately becomes very docile.
09:14The next day, the bodies of the two girls are found in the river. The council calls for a meeting
09:18and Richie's asks for curfew until the killer is caught, pointing out that all their daughters
09:22are in danger because except for the street worker, all the other dead girls were pure.
09:26However the council refuses because a curfew could push the town into bankruptcy.
09:30For the next few days, Jean continues to kidnap and kill untouched women to extract their scents,
09:35leaving the bodies in random spots when he's done. Soon the council accepts to put up a curfew
09:39and sends guards to patrol the streets, but this doesn't stop Jean and he just keeps on killing.
09:43The townspeople are taken over by fear and paranoia, so they start boarding up their houses
09:47and turning against anyone suspicious to the point of shooting. When Jean kills a nun, who is also his
09:52twelfth victim, the bishop holds a mass to call the killer a demon that shall be excommunicated.
09:57The ceremony is interrupted by a man suddenly bursting in to announce the killer has been captured.
10:01Richie's isn't convinced because the confession was obtained under torture and the details don't
10:05match the actual killings, but the council just wants to close this case and the man is
10:09executed. Meanwhile Jean mixes the twelve essences and is very pleased with the result,
10:13but he knows he's missing the final thirteenth note. He wants that final touch to be Laura,
10:17who is currently celebrating with the rest of the locals until Richie's shows up to take her home.
10:21That night, Jean sneaks inside the mansion and approaches Laura while she sleeps.
10:26Suddenly Richie's wakes up and rushes to Laura's bedroom, but she's fine and alone.
10:30However Richie's notices the window is open. The next morning, Richie's packs their things and goes
10:34away with Laura to keep her safe. Hoping to trick the killer, he sends out an empty carriage in the
10:39opposite direction while he and Laura travel by horse. However Jean's nose immediately detects
10:43that Laura's scent is getting weaker, so he also packs his things and begins following her smell to
10:47find it. Back in town, the street worker's dog is also smelling things out and finds its owner's
10:52clothes buried in the dirt. This is noticed by Druat, who keeps on digging and soon finds all the dead
10:57women's clothes and hair. Sometime later, Richie's and Laura arrive at a remote inn and rent all the rooms.
11:02Richie's chooses a room with no windows for Laura and locks her up for the night.
11:06Still tracking her scent, Jean finds the inn, sneaks through the servant's room,
11:10and steals the key from Richie's night table to finally reach Laura. When he's about to kill her,
11:15Laura opens her eyes and looks at him, making him hesitate. The next morning,
11:19Richie's checks on his daughter and is horrified to discover she's dead. Meanwhile Jean finishes
11:23extracting Laura's essence and adds it to the other twelve to finally create the ultimate perfume.
11:27Before he can sniff it properly, he's surrounded by soldiers and gets arrested, but he gets to hide
11:32the perfume in his pocket. Afterward, Richie's waterboards Jean to make him confess why he
11:36killed Laura, but Jean only answers I needed her. Back to the beginning, the day of Jean's execution
11:41comes and the whole town gathers to watch. When a council lord and a bunch of guards show up to
11:45take Jean, he opens the perfume bottle with a plan in mind. Moments later, a carriage arrives at the
11:51town square and Jean comes out wearing the lord's clothes plus a few drops of his perfect perfume.
11:55As soon as the people near him smell him, they fall to their knees, amazed by his mere presence.
12:00Jean walks to the scaffold and his scent is so intoxicating that the executioner immediately
12:04declares him innocent. Next Jean puts some perfume on a handkerchief and starts waving it around to
12:08let the scent spread. The whole crow falls into a state of absolute euphoria and even the bishop
12:13gets on his knees, announcing that Jean is actually an angel. The crowd begins yelling and crying for
12:17Jean, who finally feels noticed and powerful. The only one who hasn't fallen for it is Richie's,
12:22who is on a balcony that the perfume hasn't reached. Then Jean lets his handkerchief fly with the
12:26wind and when it falls in the crowd, it causes everyone to heat up and start doing the dirty
12:30in a huge naughty group. As he watches in shock, Jean imagines himself with a plum woman and realizes
12:35he hasn't known real love and never will, which makes him cry. Suddenly Richie's gets on the scaffold,
12:40ready to finish the execution, but he's overtaken by the power of the perfume too and falls to his knees,
12:45calling Jean his son. A few hours later, the townspeople wake up and are overwhelmed with shame.
12:50Jean is nowhere to be seen and Druat is arrested instead, since the clothes and hair were found in his shop.
12:56After 14 hours of torture, Druat confesses and is executed. Meanwhile Jean returns to his smelly
13:01hometown. Since its existence without love is pointless, Jean stops in the middle of the street
13:06and empties the whole perfume bottle on his head. The scent is so powerful that it causes the locals
13:10to rush to him, piling up on top of his body to devour him. The next morning, the only thing left of
13:15Jean's are his clothes and a drop of perfume.
