It's A Scent, And It's Lovely: How to Pick the Perfect New Fragrance [Large Print]

This chilling investigation of what might happen when a man gives way to his greatest passion, his sense of smell, leads to murder, is based on the classic book The Turn of the Screw.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a poor baby born in the slums of France in the eighteenth century, is endowed with a remarkable sense of smell. As a young man, he becomes an apprentice to a famous perfumer in Paris, where he learns the age-old technique of creating fragrances by blending various oils and plants. But Grenouille's brilliance won't allow him to stop there, and he gets fixated with capturing the aromas of things like brass doorknobs and freshly cut wood. Then, one day, he gets a whiff of a smell that would send him on a harrowing quest to make the "ultimate perfume" the aroma of a beautiful young virgin. Perfume is a chilling, potent story of murder and sensuous perversion, told with brilliant literary skill.
