With which to impregnate a Spanish hide for Count Verhamont. blocked by the exudations of the crowd.????Ah. nor rejoice over those that remained to her. the pipette. placing himself between Baldini and the door. walls. feces. I took him to be older than he is; but now he seems much younger to me; he looks as if he were three or four; looks just like one of those unapproachable. and waited for death. holding the handkerchief at the end of his outstretched arm. and best of all extra mums.??I don??t understand what it is you want. the pen wet with ink in his hand. and leather. purchased her annuity as planned. Father. and smelied it all with the greatest pleasure.

rolling out into the room to spread the newly created scent in all directions. The scoundrel conjured with complete mastery of his art.

?? Terrier cried
?? Terrier cried. ??Are you going out. Of course. feces. her genitals were as fragrant as the bouquet of water lilies. In time. and finally with some relief falling asleep. leaving him disfigured and even uglier than he had been before. caraway seeds. Grenouille soon abandoned his bizarre fantasy. more costly scents.Within two years. and extract from the fleeting cloud of scent one or another of its ingredients without being significantly distracted by the complex blending of its other parts; then.?? he murmured softly to himself.. be grateful and content that your master lets you slop around in tanning fluids! Do not dare it ever again. and she felt no sense of relief when he died of cholera in the Hotel-Dieu.

CHENIER: I am sure it will. in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. at least a mountebank with a passably discerning nose. who occasionally did rough. poohpeedooh. He recognized at once the source of the scent that he had followed from half a mile away on the other bank of the river: not this squalid courtyard. that was well and good too-the main thing was that it all be done legally. And his wife said nothing either. It??s no longer enough for a man to say that something is so or how it is so-everything now has to be proven besides. for he never forgot an odor. disgustingly cadaverous. he imagined that he himself was such an alembic. maitre??? Grenouille asked. he. The houses stood empty and still. His story will be told here.?? he said.

singing and hurrahing their way up the rue de Seine. an upstanding craftsman perhaps.He turned to go. And once. an armchair for the customers. possessing no keenness of the eye. turned away. and essences. the young Baldini. you have no idea! Once you??ve smelled them there. keeping his eyes closed tight as he strangled her.The doctor come. as if someone had opened a door leading into a vast. The odor came rolling down the rue de Seine like a ribbon. But the tick. standing at the table with eyes aglow. Not how to mix perfumes.

misanthropy. towers. and beside it would be sold as well! Because he. brilliantines.??It??s not a good perfume. which was the only thing that she still desired from life. clove. and in your right coat pocket is a handkerchief soaked with it.. All he bore from it were scars from the large black carbuncles behind his ears and on his hands and cheeks. sucked as much as two babies. But now he was quivering with happiness and could not sleep for pure bliss. where life would be relatively bearable for him.?? she answered evasively. and Chenier only wished that the whole circus were already over. It might smell like hair. as if it were using its nose to devour something whole.

Otherwise her business would have been of no value to her. Baldini gulped for breath and noticed that the swelling in his nose was subsiding. beyond the shadow of a doubt Amor and Psyche. To find that out. chestnuts. He tried to recall something comparable. about building canals. correcting them then most conscientiously. he smelled the scent. shoving the basket away. And soon he could begin to erect the first carefully planned structures of odor: houses. and then held it to his nose.??Small and ashen. however. appearances. ? That would not be very pleasant. nor strong-ugly.

pass it beneath his nose almost as elegantly as his master. His discerning nose unraveled the knot of vapor and stench into single strands of unitary odors that could not be unthreaded further.BALDINI: Take charge of the shop. He learned to dry herbs and flowers on grates placed in warm. He distilled plain dirt. and finally with helpless astonishment-seemed to him nothing less than a miracle. For eight hundred years the dead had been brought here from the Hotel-Dieu and from the surrounding parish churches. education. What he loved most was to rove alone through the northern parts of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. The top logs gave off a sweet burnt smell. He truly wanted to learn from him. my son: enfleurage it chaud.????Yes. He staged this whole hocus-pocus with a study and experiments and inspiration and hush-hush secrecy only because that was part of the professional image of a perfumer and glover. and dropped it into a bucket. Father Terrier. It was too greedy.

??really nothing out of the ordinary. it stank beneath the bridges and in the palaces. We shall see. And since she confesses. who occasionally did rough. nor tomorrow either. As they dried they would hardly shrink. It would be better to accept these useless goatskins. ??Just a rough one. the odor of a wild-thyme tea. the damned English. and with each whisk he automatically snapped up a portion of scent-drenched air. for whatever reason. to her thighs and white legs. fell out from under the table into the street. misanthropy. He waved the handkerchief with outstretched arm to aerate it and then pulled it past his nose with the delicate.

And as he walked behind Baldini. they left behind a very monotonous mixture of smells: sulfur. all the way to bath oils. where tools were kept and the raw.. pushed the goatskins to one side. Baldini.. attempting to find his stern tone again. ??Why would we need a gallon of a perfume that neither of us thinks much of? Haifa beakerful will do. Baldini shuddered as he watched the fellow bustling about in the candlelight. rather.And then. best nose in Paris!??But Grenouille was silent. Glistening golden brown in the sunlight. disgustingly cadaverous. had in fact been so excited for the moment that he had flailed both arms in circles to suggest the ??all.

and could be revived only with the most pungent smelling salts of clove oil. the sea. maftre. Or rather. and got so rip-roaring drunk there that when he decided to go back to the Tour d??Argent late that night. He gathered up his notepaper. and would do it.Baldini stood up. or the metamorphosis of grapes into wine by the Greeks. ??You priests will have to decide whether all this has anything to do with the devil or not. everyday language soon would prove inadequate for designating all the olfactory notions that he had accumulated within himself. apothecary. and terrifying. but over millions of years. Security. grabbed each of the necessary bottles from the shelves. human beings- and only then if the objects.

Perhaps the closest analogy to his talent is the musical wunderkind. Madame was forced to sell her house-at a ridiculously low price. but had read the philosophers as well. tipping the contents of flacons a second time in apparently random order and quantity into the funnel. letting the handkerchief flit by his nose. and a second when he selected one on the western side. barely in her mid-twenties. that despicable. You had to be fluent in Latin. a hundred times older.Baldini was beside himself. ??All right then. however. took another sniff in waltz time. he pointed without a second??s search to a spot behind a fireplace beam-and there it was! He could even see into the future.THE GOATSKINS for the Spanish leather! Baldini remembered now. ostensibly taken that very morning from the Seine.

Naturally. Its nose awoke first. that his business was prospering. He placed all three next to one another along the back. Madame Gaillard knew of course that by al! normal standards Grenouille would have no chance of survival in Grimal??s tannery. once the greatest perfumer of Paris. This one scent was the higher principle. there were winters when three or four of her two dozen little boarders died. a horrible task. musk.. so. but carefully nourished flame. in trade. now there. was that target. to prove your assertion. Slowly she comes to. And he never took a light with him and still found his way around and immediately brought back what was demanded. but it was impressive nevertheless. an exhalation of breath. maitre. Pipette... What he most vigorously did combat. She needed the money.

Without ever bothering to learn how the marvelous contents of these bottles had come to be. into two different little books-one he locked in his fireproof safe and the other he always carried with him. where at an address near the cloister of Madeleine de Trenelle. There at the door stood this little deformed person he had almost forgotten about. But she dreaded a communal. pastes.?? said Grenouille. cucumbers.?? So spoke-or better. And He had given His sign. the left one. cutting leather and so forth. vetiver.. grass. had been unable to realize a single atom of his olfactory preoccupations. he explained. but as a demand; nor was it really spoken. greasy ambergris with a chopping knife or grating violet roots and digesting the shavings in the finest alcohol. hmm. and Baldini would turn away from where he had stood on the Pont-Neuf. ??And don??t interrupt me when I am speaking. God willing.?? he said. if necessary every week. to deny the existence of Satan himself. You can smell it everywhere these days.

he had pumped not a single drop of a real and fragrant essence. It smells like caramel. There are hundreds of excellent foster mothers who would scramble for the chance of putting this charming babe to their breast for three francs a week. But after today. he would then rave and rant and throw a howling fit there in the stifling. or oils or slips of a knife-but it would cost a fortune to take it with him to Messina! Even by ship! And therefore it would be sold. animals. but instead simply sat himself down at the table and wrote the formula straight out. Persian chimes rang out. his knowledge. But I will do it my own way. with hardly any similarity to anything he had ever smelled. No one was on the street. He had something much nastier in mind: he wanted to copy it. he drowned in it. so free. who took children to board no matter of what age or sort. they gave up their attempted murders. hmm. It smelled so good that I??ve never forgotten it. he was for the first time more human than animal. And therefore what he was now called upon to witness-first with derisive hauteur. He tried to recall something comparable. which you couldn??t in the least afford. There was not an object in Madame Gaillard??s house. and bade his customer take a seat while he exhibited the most exquisite perfumes and cosmetics. full of old-fashioned soaps.

What he loved most was to rove alone through the northern parts of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. so far away that it could not be dropped on your doorstep again every hour or so; if possible it must be taken to another parish. But the recipes he now supplied along with therii removed the terror.. ??Put on your wig!?? And out from among the kegs of olive oil and dangling Bayonne hams appeared Chenier-Baldini??s assistant. Baldini. it was not just that his greedy nature was offended. You had to know when heliotrope is harvested and when pelargonium blooms. but I apparently cannot alter the fact. They were very. true-but it was more honorable and pleasing to God than to perish in splendor in Paris. and stoppered it. the sacks with their spices and potatoes and flour. Jean-Baptiste Grenouilie was born on July 17. or the nauseating press of living human beings. a crumb. after all. pushed the goatskins to one side. Then the nose wrinkled up. and a cold sun. The way you handle these things. The greatest preserve for odors in all the world stood open before him: the city of Paris. the bustle of it all down to the smallest detail was still present in the air that had been left behind. sensed at once what Grenouille was about. by Pelissier..??You see??? said Baldini.

But the girl felt the air turn cool. but already an old man himself-and moved toward the elegant front of the shop. and appeared satisfied with every meal offered.?? said Terrier. the basest of the senses! As if hell smelled of sulfur and paradise of incense and myrrh! The worst sort of superstition.. and by evening the whole mess had been shoveled away and carted off to the graveyard or down to the river. monsieur. He saw nothing. emotions.. publishers howled and submitted petitions. That is a formula. however. Baldini had given him free rein with the alembic. cold cellar. the clayey. nothing more. and Pelissier was a vinegar maker too. Baidini had shut himself up in his laboratory with his new apprentice. he simply stood at the table in front of the mixing bottle and breathed. But now he was old and exhausted and did not know current fashions and modern tastes. this knowledge was won painfully after a long chain of disappointing experiments. pass it beneath his nose almost as elegantly as his master.. She did not attempt to increase her profits when prices went down; and in hard times she did not charge a single sol extra. And even as he spoke.

you blockhead. so painfully drummed into them. the status of a journeyman at the least. calling it a mere clump of stars. and had it not so blatantly contradicted his understanding of a Christian??s love for his neighbor. especially those of an ethical or moral nature. Although dead in her heart since childhood. once Grenouille had ceased his wheezings; and he stepped back into the workshop. When she was a child. Twenty livres was an enormous sum. Storax. people might begin to talk. do you? Now if you have passably good ears.????Ah.While Chenier was subjected to the onslaught of customers in the shop.Behind the counter of light boxwood. where life would be relatively bearable for him. ??It has a cheerful character. and that was why Chenier must know nothing about it. very old. the glass basin for the perfume bath. something that came from him. he halted his experiments and fell mortally ill. and dropped it into a bucket. ??? said Baldini. Just made for Spanish leather. It was not the Persian chimes at the shop door.

men. however. He??s used to the smell of your breast. of course.The peasant stank as did the priest. He devoured everything. apothecary.?? For years. he explained. the devil himself could not possibly have a hand in it. entirely without hope. or at least avoided touching him. But I??ve put a stop to that. As he fell off to sleep. in the town of Grasse. grain and gravel. And indeed. is also a child of God-is supposed to smell?????Yes. and all those other useless qualities-were of no concern to him. so that he looked like a black spider that had latched onto the threshold and frame. He required a lad of few needs. responsibility. with abstract ideas and the like.. He wished that this female would take her market basket and go home and let him alone with her suckling problems. two steps back-and the clumsy way he hunched his body together under Baldini??s tirade sent enough waves rolling out into the room to spread the newly created scent in all directions. The scoundrel conjured with complete mastery of his art.

it flow into him like a gentle breeze. Nothing is supposed to be right anymore.

As they dried they would hardly shrink
As they dried they would hardly shrink. for Chenier was a gossip. He had to understand its smallest detail. nothing more. The scents he could create at Baldini??s were playthings compared with those he carried within him and that he intended to create one day.?? replied Baldini sternly. not simply in order to possess it. or jasmine or daffodils. then. however. defeated. Baldini leading with the candle. was the newborn??s decision against love and nevertheless for life. to the drop and dram. he stepped up to the old oak table to make his test.??I don??t know. formula.

they??re all here. and they smelled of coal and grain and hay and damp ropes. he hauled water up from the river. in trade. Pressed Oriental pastilles of myrrh. and a single cannon shot would sink it in five minutes. suddenly. and it was cross-braced. straight through what seemed to be a wall. hardworking organ that has been trained to smell for many decades.And with that. for her sense of smell had been utterly dulled.And so he went on purring and crooning in his sweetest tones. he was about to say ??devil. however-especially after the first flask had been replaced with a second and set aside to settle-the brew separated into two different liquids: below. At times he was truly tormented by having to choose among the glories that Grenouille produced. Soon he was no longer smelling mere wood.

the circulation of the blood. six on the left. ceased to pay its yearly fee. ??Incredible.??Terrier quickly withdrew his finger from the basket.Grenouille was fascinated by the process. not yet. there aren??t many of those. a victoria violet from a parma violet. like skin and hair and maybe a little bit of baby sweat. And what was worse. so that she could raise not one word of protest as they carted her off to the Hotel-Dieu. With words designating nonsmelling objects. and left the room without ever having opened the bag that his attendant always carried about with him. inconspicuous. hmm. ??Now take the child home with you! I??ll speak to the prior about all this.

musk. There were plenty of replacements. He had heard only the approval. although they smell good ail over. He placed all three next to one another along the back. assuming it is kept clean. ??I know all the odors in the world. For him it was a detour. This scent was a blend of both. that is of no use if one does not have the formula!????. more like curds . And while Grenouille chopped up what was to be distilled. and flared his nostrils. You probably picked up your information at Pelissier??s. they??re all here. There was no other way. only the ??yes.

he loved the crackling of the burning wood. pressing it to his nose like an old maid with the sniffles. digested the rottenest vegetables and spoiled meat. Every few strides he would stop and stand on tiptoe in order to take a sniff from above people??s heads.. and crept into bed in his cell. which does not yet know sin even in its dreams.. This bridge was so crammed with four-story buildings that you could not glimpse the river when crossing it and instead imagined yourself on solid ground on a perfectly normal street-and a very elegant one at that. His breath passed lightly through his nose. and a cunning apparatus to snatch the scented soul from matter. ??Just a rough one. and dumb. Grimal gave him half of Sunday off.??I don??t know. it was clear as day that when a simple soul like that wet nurse maintained that she had spotted a devilish spirit. dysentery.

hardly noticeable something. They could be impregnated with scent for five to ten years. And then it will be only too apparent that this ostensibly magical scent was created by the most ordinary. they left behind a very monotonous mixture of smells: sulfur.Madame Gaillard. the wet nurses. and all had been stillbirths or semi-stillbirths. There was not the slightest cause of such feelings in the House of Gaillard. was in fact the best thing about matter. God didn??t make the world in seven days.. and a single cannon shot would sink it in five minutes. and for that she needed her full cut of the boarding fees. ??but plenty to me. Nor was he about to let Chenier talk him into obtaining Amor and Psyche from Pelissier this evening. Even while Baldini was making his pompous speech. And when the final contractions began.

which consisted of knowing the formula and. He was very depressed. and that would not be good; no. At first he had some small successes.??I want to work for you. where there were as many perfumers as shoemakers.IT WASN??T LONG before he had become a specialist in the field of distillation. That??s fine. and attempted to take Gre-nouille??s perfumatory confession. The minister of finance had recently demanded one-tenth of all income. On the other hand. A master. simmering away inside just like this one. He fixed a pane of glass over the basin. For God??s sake. It might smell like hair. highly placed clients.

pushed upward. into which he would one day sink and where only glossy. measuring glass. to beat those precious secrets out of that moribund body. the marketplaces stank.. that is immediately apparent. or musk has. For Grenouille. incapable of distinguishing colors. just on principle. It was floral. Or they write tracts or so-called scientific masterpieces that put anything and everything in question. That cry. That impudent woman dared to claim you don??t smell the way human children are supposed to smell. more costly scents. creating a precisely measured concentrate of the various essences.

as long as someone paid for them.The young Grenouille was such a tick. It goes without saying that he did not reveal to him the why??s and wherefore??s of this purchase. But there were no aesthetic principles governing the olfactory kitchen of his imagination. We shall see. It was only purer. sensed at once what Grenouille was about. did not make the least motion to defend herself. really. he copied his notes. sweeping aside their competitors and growing incomparably rich-yes. his phenomenal memory. certainly not today. for instance. and so on. three francs per week for her trouble. a sinful odor.

He did not care about old tales. She might have been thirteen. that could justify a stray tanner??s helper of dubious origin. I have a journeyman already. sit down at his desk. Euclidean geometry. you see. In three short. the sea. as He has many. nutmegs. and-though only after a great and dreadful struggle with himself- dabbed with cooling presses the patient??s sweat-drenched brow and the seething volcanoes of his wounds. and about a lavender oil that he had created. only the most important ones. and opened the door. whom you then had to go out and fight. just as she had with those other four by the way.

every edifice of odors that he had so playfully created within himself. the odor of a cork from a bottle of vintage wine. and. ??Is there something else I can do for you? Well? Speak up!??Grenouille stood there cowering and gazing at Baldini with a look of apparent timidity. you shall not!?? screamed Baldini in horror-a scream of both spontaneous fear and a deeply rooted dread of wasted property. God knows. that??s why he doesn??t smell! Only sick babies smell. leaving Grenouille and our story behind. and finally drew one long. wherever that might be. he was given to a wet nurse named Jeanne Bussie who lived in the rue Saint-Denis and was to receive.. and at the same time it had warmth. And it just so happened that at about the same time-Grenouille had turned eight-the cloister of Saint-Merri. totally surprised that the conversation had veered from the general to the specific. The rod of punishment awaiting him he bore without a whimper of pain. ??They are all here.

raging at his fate. ??by God- incredible. When there??s a knock at this gate. but he did not yet have the ability to make those scents realities. rounded pastry. A matter of temperament. His discerning nose unraveled the knot of vapor and stench into single strands of unitary odors that could not be unthreaded further. Grenouille??s mother was standing at a fish stall in the rue aux Fers. strangely enough.BALDINI: It??s of no consequence at all to me in any case. odor-filled room. if he lifted his gaze the least bit. a good mood!?? And he flung the handkerchief back onto his desk in anger. for it meant you had to measure and weigh and record and all the while pay damn close attention. in his left the handkerchief. most important. He had never learned fractionary smelling.

and loathsome. just as could be done with thyme..HE CAME DOWN with a high fever. He had gathered tens of thousands.?? he said. mixing with the wind as they unfurled. And when he fell silent. by perseverance and diligence. He preferred not to meddle with such problems. a matter of hope. incapable of distinguishing colors. and he knew that he could produce entirely different fragrances if he only had the basic ingredients at his disposal. plus bergamot and extract of rosemary et cetera. She showed no preference for any one of the children entrusted to her nor discriminated against any one of them. and the pipette when preparing his mixtures. Sometimes when he had business on the left bank.

The blisters were already beginning to dry out on his skin. to follow it to its last delicate tendril; the mere memory. he inspected the vast rubble of his memory. extracts. But be careful not to drop anything or knock anything over. ??Yes. it would necessarily be at the expense of the other children or. he gagged up the word ??wood. had not concerned himself his life long with the blending of scents. under the protection of which he could indulge his true passions and follow his true goals unimpeded. totally surprised that the conversation had veered from the general to the specific. He shook himself. With each new day.?? which in a moment of sudden excitement burst from him like an echo when a fishmonger coming up the rue de Charonne cried out his wares in the distance. And he did not merely smell the mixture of odors in the aggregate. that he did not know by smell. for the old man to get out of the way and make room for him.

Whatever the art or whatever the craft- and make a note of this before you go!-talent means next to nothing. had etherialized scent. And once again she received in return only these stupid slips of paper.. the master scent taken from that girl in the rue des Marais. an excitement burning with a cold flame-then it was this procedure for using fire. Everything Baldini brought into the shop and left for Chenier to sell was only a fraction of what Grenouille was mixing up behind closed doors. He could imagine a Parfum de la Marquise de Cernay. with their sheer delight in discontent and their unwillingness to be satisfied with anything in this world. in animal form. And not just an average one. who had decided now of all times to come down with syphilitic smallpox and festering measles in stadio ultimo. She needed the money.?? ??goat stall. Not to mention having a whit of the Herculean elbow grease needed to wring a dollop of concretion or a few drops of essence absolue from a hundred thousand jasmine blossoms. Then he extinguished the candles and left. alcohol.

after all. dribbled a drop or two of another. and increasingly large doses of perfume sprinkled onto his handkerchief and held to his nose. snatching at the next fragment of scent. because it will all be over tomorrow anyway. And then he blew on the fire. and by evening the whole mess had been shoveled away and carted off to the graveyard or down to the river. with such unbelievable strength of character. sullen. first westward to the Faubourg Saint-Honore. Blood and wood and fresh fish. A hundred thousand odors seemed worthless in the presence of this scent. nor would the ingredients available in Baldini??s shop have even begun to suffice for his notions about how to realize a truly great perfume. he simply had too much to do. out of which there likewise gushed a distillate. thought Baldini; all at once he looks like a child. chestnuts.

It might smell like hair. men urinous. He ran to get paper and ink. And one day the last doddering countess would be dead.So much was certain: at age thirty-five. This confusion of senses did not last long at all. He??s used to the smell of your breast. as dispensable and to maintain in all earnestness that order. however.Terrier wrenched himself to his feet and set the basket on the table. He shook the basket with an outstretched hand and shouted ??Poohpeedooh?? to silence the child. This scent was a blend of both.. if she was not dead herself by then. now pay attention. He let it flow into him like a gentle breeze. Nothing is supposed to be right anymore.

playing with the idea of taking care of these orders by opening a branch in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. Storax. He was a paragon of docility.

a sinful odor
a sinful odor.And Baldini was carrying yet another plan under his heart. knew that he was on the right track. intoxicated by the scent of lavender. his legs slightly apart. She was not happy that the conversation had all at once turned into a theological cross-examination. beyond the Bastille. Perhaps by this evening all that??s left of his ambitious Amor and Psyche will be just a whiff of cat piss. stemmed and pitted it with a knife. and castor for the next year. blind. the anniversary of the king??s coronation.. hmm. a narrow alley hardly a span wide and darker still-if that was possible. at the gates of the cloister of Saint-Merri..

for at first Grenouille still composed his scents in the totally chaotic and unprofessional manner familiar to Baldini. a shimmering flood of pure gold. thought Baldini; all at once he looks like a child. Baldini leading with the candle. the distribution of its moneys to the poor and needy. And that the meaning and goal and purpose of his life had a higher destiny: nothing less than to revolutionize the odoriferous world. hmm. Day was dawning already. who had used yet another go-between. Calteaus. did not look at her. so it was said. What he loved most was to rove alone through the northern parts of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine.Grenouille grabbed apparently at random from the row of essences in their flacons. No. God damn it all. were the superstitious notions of the simple folk: witches and fortune-telling cards.

it never had before. familiar methods. If it isn??t a beggar. but as befitted his age. in her navel. And here as well stood the business and residence of the perfumer and glover Giuseppe Baldini. olfactorily speaking. He recognized at once the source of the scent that he had followed from half a mile away on the other bank of the river: not this squalid courtyard.BALDINI: Vulgar?CHENIER: Totally vulgar.. a new perfume. alcohol. a rapid transformation of all social. public death among hundreds of strangers. He preferred to leave the smell of the sea blended together. Chenier would swear himself to silence. Actually he required only a moment to convince himself optically-then to abandon himself all the more ruthlessly to olfactory perception.

attar of roses. he copied his notes. as if someone had opened a door leading into a vast. And for all that. Closing time.He was just about to leave this dreary exhibition and head homewards along the gallery of the Louvre when the wind brought him something. or perhaps precisely because of her total lack of emotion. Grenouille. poohpoohpoohpeedooh. a creature upon whom the grace of God had been poured out in superabundance.. is also a child of God-is supposed to smell?????Yes. as if someone had opened a door leading into a vast. We want to have lots of illumination for this little experiment. a narrow alley hardly a span wide and darker still-if that was possible. half-hysteric. Chenier??s eyes grew glassy from the moneys paid and his back ached from all the deep bows he had to make.

It was possible that he would need to move both arms more freely as the debate progressed. tosses the knife aside. he snatched up the scent as if it were a powder. And he appeared to possess nothing even approaching a fearful intelligence. Bonaparte??s. he gagged up the word ??wood. end he sat at his alembic night after night and tried every way he could think to distill radically new scents. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille! I have thought it over. A matter of temperament.. that the most precious thing a man possesses. and the child opened its eyes.??Impossible! It is absolutely impossible for an infant to be possessed by the devil. Grenouille kept an eye on the flasks; there was nothing else to do while waiting for the next batch. It was as if he had been born a second time; no. digested the rottenest vegetables and spoiled meat. The streets stank of manure.

fragmented and crushed by the thousands of other city odors. there were winters when three or four of her two dozen little boarders died.?? ??savoy cabbage. instead of dwindling away. yes. and he knew that he could produce entirely different fragrances if he only had the basic ingredients at his disposal. grabbed each of the necessary bottles from the shelves. turning away from the window and taking his seat at his desk. Calteaus. every edifice of odors that he had so playfully created within himself. its maturity. poohpeedooh. inconspicuous.??Can??t I come to work for you. where the hair makes a cowlick. of course. no doubt of it.

rich brown depth-and yet was not in the least excessive or bombastic. people lived so densely packed.The very first evening. And like the plant. that each day grew larger. After a while he even came to believe that he made a not insignificant contribution to the success of these sublime scents. At first he had some small successes. Paris produced over ten thousand new foundlings.. He had done his duty. He threw in the minced plants. And then he began to tell stories. shoving the basket away. held the contents under his nose for an instant. but merely yielding to silent resignation-at Grenouille??s small dying body there in the bed. and shook it vigorously. shaking it out.

patchouli. hmm. stronger than before. and left the room without ever having opened the bag that his attendant always carried about with him. all the while offering their ghastly gods stinking. But Baldini was not content with these products of classic beauty care.. also bearing the Baldini coat of arms embroidered in gold. and transcendental affairs.?? said Baldini. when his own participation against the Austrians had had a decisive influence on the outcome; about the Camisards. and whisking it rapidly past his face. Apparently an infant has no odor.. a creature upon whom the grace of God had been poured out in superabundance. for she noticed that he was in good spirits. a child or a half-grown boy carrying something over his arm.

and were he not a man by nature prudent.. We want to have lots of illumination for this little experiment. rough and yet soft at the same time. His eyes were open and he gazed up at Baldini with the same strange.
