A one-of-a-kind fragrance

Posted by Robin on 27 November 2018 Leave a Comment

In updating the historical story, this six-part season also gets a detective show twist, with a group of investigators looking into the death of a singer. What they find is a group of one-time school friends, at least one of whom stumbled into the practice of using human scents as the basis for making a one-of-a-kind fragrance. An unexplained death quickly turns into a psychological dive down the rabbit hole of an obsessive killer.

— The new version of Perfume opens on Netflix in late December. Read more (and watch the trailer) at ‘Perfume’ Trailer: Human Scent Murder Mystery Gets Netflix German TV Treatment at Indiewire. You can read our review of the 2006 movie here, or of Patrick Süskind's novel Perfume here.

Perfume in the news: cookies, Perfume movie

San Francisco will soon have bus shelters…

…infused with the scent of fresh-baked, chocolate-chip cookies.

It’s the brainchild of marketers for the California Milk Processor Board, who are hoping the captive crowds waiting for a bus will be enticed to go home and grab a glass of milk after they take a whiff of the artificial scent and are cued visually with “Got Milk?” advertisements to be posted in the shelters…

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer ~ movie review

Posted by Marcello on 3 October 2006 9 Comments

Stanley Kubrick said it couldn’t be done. And he wasn’t alone. The idea of transposing the magic of Patrick Süskind’s novel Perfume to the big screen raised doubts among movie buffs and Süskind fans alike. And yet, on September 14th, Tom Tykwer’s highly anticipated movie adaptation finally premiered in Germany. I happened to be in Berlin a week later, and bought a ticket to the most expensive production in German cinematic history. Despite the absence of red carpets and confetti, there was a sense of excitement at the theater entrance. The obvious question on everyone’s mind was: how will the movie compare to the book?
