À propos de cet audio

In the slums of 18th-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift - an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs.

But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and fresh-cut wood. Then one day, he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume" - the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brilliance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.

I have read this book many times and decided to download the audio book, it did not disappoint. The narrator was well spoken and easy to listen to, even adjusted his voices well to portray different characters within the book. I also really enjoy this writing style. This book may not interest every reader but it's definitely in my top 10 reads!

One of my favourite books!

I liked the writing style and story telling, the actor did a great job but because the story was taking place in France, I would like if the actor reading was maybe french or had a french accent. I didn't finish it either.

good but could be better
