The announcement of the execution bestialischer triggers widespread jubilation in the schaulustigen weight.

A flashback takes on the fish market in Paris, where on 17 In July 1738, one of the hottest days of the year, a fish seller aufschreit and then her fifth child, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, in a sudden fall release birth. The newborn arrives in the midst of stinking fish waste. His mother does not care about him and suspected that he was a "half" or stillbirth, as in previous years, their four other children.

A boy approaching him, when the baby takes his index finger to find him intensively to snuffle. Now suspicious, adopt the children, the baby to suffocate. Madame Gaillard this crime can be prevented by accident and the boy with a whip. Grenouille is getting older and the world opens up about his sense of smell. He sniffs his environment, even a dead rat explored it in this way. He will soon realize his great talent, fragrances with his extremely sensitive nose up and to remember. With six years, he has already given its environs olfactory fully tapped.

With 13 years sold Madame Gaillard Grenouille in the Gerber Grimal. In Grimal Grenouille has a very hard life. Every day he must up to 16 hours work, and he is one of the few that survive long periods Fron. As he rises within Grimals operation, he may goods in the city-installed. In the streets of Paris, he meets a universe of fragrances. Especially pleased to have him two ladies, in a carriage on his passing. He follows them to a perfumery, and through the window, he stares into the shop inside, where different scents are issued. Grenouilles smell has been refined, and he should finally discover that the scent of a young, red-haired girl, Mirabelle sold, it has particularly impressed. When he intensively on their hands snuffles, the girl is so frightened of them that it is fleeing.

As the couple disappeared again, Grenouille noticed that the girl he accidentally asphyxiated. It tears her clothes and smells intensely on her entire body, but without them to abuse.

As Grenouille a cargo leather when Hussein Giuseppe Baldini wish, so he called in his shop. Baldini was once one of the most directors of Paris perfume, but now is his fame faded. Hardly anyone lost in his shop on the houses built with Pont au Change. A competitor has a perfume called "Amor and Psyche" on the market, after the elegant Paris. Baldini is mandated by a customer, a new fragrance to create, as well as to be "Amor and Psyche". Baldinis assistant, a bottle worried, but Baldini has for the fragrance only concerns comments left. Baldini stretches back to his laboratory, in order to copy the scent. Inspired, he is of "Amor and Psyche", of which he himself another bottle in a drawer lie. He tries to fathom what essences in "Amor and Psyche" are hidden and writes for a list. Well, when Grenouille in the laboratory, this is, "Amor and Psyche" to know and to know exactly what it is.

On the Plomb du Cantal, a volcanic mountain in the central massif, he discovered a cave, in which he set up in complete isolation. Seven years he has lived at this location, fills in the scents, which he noted in his locked inside.
