His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, and if his name has been forgotten today, it is certainly not because Gernouille fell short of those more famous blackguards when it came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or, more succinctly, wickedness, but because his gifts and his sole ambition were restricted to a domain that leavs no traces in history: to the fleeting realm of scent..."-- Publisher's description.
