Based on the best-selling novel by Patrick Suskind, Perfume is a Story of Murder set in 18th-century France.

Blessed with a remarkable sense of smell, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille becomes obsessed with his pursuit to create the world's finest perfumes. When he discovers the most intoxicating scent he has ever experienced - the natural fragrance of a beautiful young girl - he decides to preserve her innocence and beauty through murder. Leaving behind a series of gruesome killings, Grenouille travels the countryside searching for the vital final ingredient to complete his perfume.

Filled with suspense, black humour and mystery, the film stars British newcomer Ben Whishaw as Grenouille and heads a cast including Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood and two time Academy Award winner, Dustin Hoffman.
