  • Jean-Baptiste Grenouille’s (Ben Whishaw) obsession with capturing the one fragrance that has eluded him as one of France’s most gifted perfumers, the scent of young womanhood, quickly gets out of hand following the discovery of 12 young female bodies. The hunt is on to catch the man behind these hideous acts. With an all-star cast including multi Academy Award®-winning actor Dustin Hoffman and Golden Globe-winning actor, Alan Rickman, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer brings the audience on a sensory journey of love, desire, obsession and mortality.


    The film score, composed by Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil, was originally performed by the Berlin Philharmonic and State choir Latvija with conductor Sir Simon Rattle.
