Joanne Richoux

A modern rewriting of Patrick Süskind's Perfume.

Jade, 18 years old, has left Brittany and her grandmother to move to Paris, where she wishes to pursue her passion: perfumery. She begins her fixed-term contract in a cosmetics and perfumery company and discovers Parisian life in all its splendor. With her new colleague Sibylle, she dives into the nightlife and meets Victor, aka Domino. Between the boy - who sees everything in black and white because of a disease - and Jade - who suffers from synaesthesia - it is love at first sight. However, their relationship becomes toxic, and Jade has a hard time handling it.
But life goes better when she is spotted by famous perfumer Zacharie Mignard, who hires her as an apprentice.
Jade decides to create the ultimate bottle, and a scent that will bring together the perfumes of those who cross her path. However, she must break the most sacred of taboos to do so...
