Paris · 1985 · citedPerfume: The Story of a Murderer
Patrick Süskind
A Paris built from smell before sight: the reeking fish stalls of the old Innocents charnel-ground, the tanneries steaming by the Seine, and a perfumer's shop crowded onto a bridge over the river. The map anchors in the medieval heart of the city, then follows its scent-obsessed foundling south across France to the perfume town of Grasse, marked here as a deliberate excursion beyond Paris.
