Patrick Suskind - Perfume

Olfactory sensation, it's a sweet damnation!

About Me

I made this page to show you my song 'Perfume' and to start a community for those who love or have an interest in the book.
If you have been creatively or artistically inspired by the story of Perfume, please send us your work and we will post it (words, art, pictures, photos, cartoons, poems, songs.........)
Patrick Suskind's 'Perfume' is simply a brilliant creation. Never before have I been grasped so intensely by a book.
This is the story behind my song 'Perfume'. One of the only books I have read over and over again. I can't explain my fascination with it apart from that I have a strange attraction to such an odd, twisted story line, examining a darker side of life and written with such conviction that you can mistakenly feel compassion for this horrible man who is a spiteful murderer.
As some 'Perfume' fans might know there is a film currently being released, directed by German born Tom Tykwer.
Please use this page if you have any questions, comments, discussion or just are interested in finding out more about the story.
