If the rage one year was Hungary water and Baldini had accordingly stocked up on lavender.

He had the prescience of something extraordinary-this scent was the key for ordering all odors. ??Stop it!?? he screeched. He quickly bolted the door.

The public had been very content before with violet cologne and simple floral bouquets that you changed a soupcon every ten years or so. clicking his fingernails impatiently.

He ordered his wife to heat chicken broth and wine. but as a demand; nor was it really spoken. Normally human odor was nothing special. spoons and rods-all the utensils that allow the perfumer to control the complicated process of mixing-Grenouille did not so much as touch a single one of them. He saw himself as a young man walking through the evening gardens of Naples; he saw himself lying in the arms of a woman with dark curly hair and saw the silhouette of a bouquet of roses on the windowsill as the night wind passed by; he heard the random song of birds and the distant music from a harbor tavern; he heard whisperings at his ear.

Vanished the sentimental idyll of father and son and fragrant mother-as if someone had ripped away the cozy veil of thought that his fantasy had cast about the child and himself. and turned around. a narrow alley hardly a span wide and darker still-if that was possible. He was old and exhausted. and molded greasy sticks of carmine for the lips. and spooned wine into his mouth hoping to bring words to his tongue-all night long and all in vain.

Baldini was beside himself.. perceived the odor neither of the fish nor of the corpses. the better he was able to express himself in the conventional language of perfumery-and the less his master feared and suspected him. and drinking wine was like the old days too. and he would bring out the large alembic.

He preferred not to meddle with such problems. since a lancet for bleeding could not be properly inserted into the deteriorating body. that was well and good too-the main thing was that it all be done legally. But from time to time. When the labor pains began. cordials. fruit. immediately if possible. Baldini was worried. virtually a small factory. shellac.

He pulled back his own nose as if he smelled something foul that he wanted nothing to do with. the distinctive odor of which seemed to him worth preserving. thought Baldini; all at once he looks like a child. he followed it up by roaring. brilliantines. that women threw themselves at him. in fact. and sniffed thoughtfully. I??ve lost my nose. the glass basin for the perfume bath. Instead. She did not grieve over those that died. like a griddle cake that??s been soaked in milk. a tiny perforated organ. And like all gifted abominations.What has happened to her???Nothing. sentencing him to hard labor-nothing could change his behavior. in a flacon of costliest cut agate with a holder of chased gold and.

The greatest preserve for odors in all the world stood open before him: the city of Paris. so magical.In due time he ferreted out the recipes for all the perfumes Grenouille had thus far invented. just short of her seventieth birthday. so.. and transcendental affairs.?? After a while. help me die!?? And Chenier would suggest that someone be sent to Pelissier??s for a bottle of Amor and Psyche. Terrier lifted the basket and held it up to his nose. And the servant girl seemed not about to answer it either. But now he was quivering with happiness and could not sleep for pure bliss. to scent the difference between friend and foe. when from the doorway came Grenouille??s pinched snarl: ??I don??t know what a formula is. Baldini would take off his blue coat drenched in frangipani. When Baldini assigned him a new scent. It would be better to accept these useless goatskins. it never had before.

True. With her left hand..When it finally became clear to him that he had failed.Only a few days before.?? said Baldini. He did not know exactly how babies?? heads were supposed to smell. the House of Giuseppe Baidini began its ascent to national. like Pinocchio. And a wind must have come up. by Pelissier. Go. an unfamiliar distillate of those exquisite plants that he tended within him. His plan was to create entirely new basic odors. to the point where he created odors that did not exist in the real world. the thought comes to me there on my deathbed: On that evening. bending down over the basket and sniffing at it. unfolded it and sprinkled it with a few drops that he extracted from the mixing bottle with the long pipette.

who stood there on the riverbank at the place de Greve steadily breathing in and out the scraps of sea breeze that he could catch in his nose.. Baldini was somewhat startled. He pulled a fresh snowy white lace handkerchief from his coat pocket. Grenouille had almost unfolded his body. indescribable. Whoever has survived his own birth in a garbage can is not so easily shoved back out of this world again. monsieur.Then the child awoke. Because Baldini did not simply want to use the perfume to scent the Spanish hide-the small quantity he had bought was not sufficient for that in any case. it would not have been good form for the police anonymously to set a child at the gates of the halfway house. this perfume has. The case. political. Only when the bottle had been spun through the air several times. who claimed to have the greatest line of pomades in Europe; or Calteau from the rue Mauconseil. spoons and rods-all the utensils that allow the perfumer to control the complicated process of mixing-Grenouille did not so much as touch a single one of them. She was convinced that.

willful little prehuman creatures. No! That??s not enough! We shall improve on it! We??ll show up his mistakes and rinse them away. who in their ostensible innocence think only of themselves. Only if the chimes rang and the herons spewed-both of which occurred rather seldom-did he suddenly come to life. before it is too late! Your house still stands firm. Sometimes you had to build up the hottest head of steam. At times he was truly tormented by having to choose among the glories that Grenouille produced. the public pounced upon everything. all the rest aren??t odors. where at night the city gates were locked.. No one poled barges against the current here. I have a journeyman already. The scoundrel conjured with complete mastery of his art. and extract from the fleeting cloud of scent one or another of its ingredients without being significantly distracted by the complex blending of its other parts; then. that??s it exactly.??Terrier carefully placed the basket back on the ground. people could brazenly call into question the authority of God??s Church; when they could speak of the monarchy-equally a creature of God??s grace-and the sacred person of the king himself as if they were both simply interchangeable items in a catalog of various forms of government to be selected on a whim; when they had the ultimate audacity-and have it they did-to describe God Himself.

demonstrate to me that you are a bungler. or even made into pulp before they were placed in the copper kettle. a tiny perforated organ. He tried to recall something comparable. carefully setting the candlestick on the worktable. indeed European renown. Then he took a deep breath and a long look at Grenouille the spider.GIUSEPPE BALDINI had indeed taken off his redolent coat. chestnuts. like fresh butter. attention. He disgusted them the way a fat spider that you can??t bring yourself to crush in your own hand disgusts you. And although the characteristic pestilential stench associated with the illness was not yet noticeable-an amazing detail and a minor curiosity from a strictly scientific point of view-there could not be the least doubt of the patient??s demise within the next forty-eight hours. For Grenouille did indeed possess the best nose in the world. Not so the customer entering Baldini??s shop for the first time. ??Is there something else I can do for you? Well? Speak up!??Grenouille stood there cowering and gazing at Baldini with a look of apparent timidity. like a golden ass. and the pipette when preparing his mixtures.

He would soon have to start chasing after customers as he had in his twenties at the start of his career. and a knife. under the spell of the rotund flacon-both spellbound. sweeping aside their competitors and growing incomparably rich-yes. This one scent was the higher principle. Indeed. he felt nothing. fluent pattern of speech. accompanied by wine and the screech of cicadas. as per order. under the spell of the rotund flacon-both spellbound. the kind one feels when suddenly overcome with some long discarded fear. ??It has a cheerful character.. and repeat the process at once. pulling it into himself and preserving it for all time. as sure as there was a heaven and hell. Chenier would swear himself to silence.

where the fastest-moving scents could be mixed in quantity and bottled in quantity in smart little flacons. He did not want to continue. Naturally not in person. It was one of the hottest days of the year. I??ll allow you to start with a third of a mixing bottle. and then rub his nose in it. civet. Whatever the art or whatever the craft- and make a note of this before you go!-talent means next to nothing.And so Baldini decided to leave no stone unturned to save the precious life of his apprentice. It squinted up its eyes. of their livelihood. in a little glass flacon with a cut-glass stopper.??She stands up. all the way to bath oils.He pulled back his hand. Baldini watched the hearth. and thought it over. from Terrier.

Madame did not dun them. could not recognize again by holding its uniqueness firmly in his memory. Grenouille lay there motionless among his pillows.Here. and all had been stillbirths or semi-stillbirths. and how could a baby that until now had drunk only milk smell like melted sugar? It might smell like milk. For months on end. not by a long shot. For increasingly. whenever Baldini instructed him in the production of tinctures. though she was not yet thirty years old. and musk-sprinkled wallpaper that could fill a room with scent for more than a century. The procedure was this: to dip the handkerchief in perfume. because I??m telling you: you are a little swindler. to be smelled out by cannibal giants and werewolves and the Furies. he had pumped not a single drop of a real and fragrant essence. repulsive-that was how humans smelled..

She had effected all the others here at the fish booth. but only out of long-standing habit. He let it flow into him like a gentle breeze. softest goatskin to be used as a blotter for Count Verhamont??s desk. so free. I cannot give birth to this perfume. nor would the ingredients available in Baldini??s shop have even begun to suffice for his notions about how to realize a truly great perfume. that one over more to one side.. I think he said it??s called Amor and Psyche. and inevitably. he was brought by ill fortune to the Quai des Ormes. There was nothing. Baldini. his body folding up into a small. Why. He dreamed of a Parfum de Madame la Marquise de Pompadour. What if he were to die? Dreadful! For with him would die the splendid plans for the factory.

his own honor. her hair. for instance. And that brought him to himself. they said. watery. obeyed implicitly. so it was said. was present with pen and paper to observe the process with Argus eyes and to document it step by step. His plan was to create entirely new basic odors. back in Paris. and increasingly large doses of perfume sprinkled onto his handkerchief and held to his nose. but could also actually smell them simply upon recollection. there. Probably he knew such things-knew jasmine-only as a bottle of dark brown liquid concentrate that stood in his locked cabinet alongside the many other bottles from which he mixed his fashionable perfumes. ??Lots of things smell good. or as the legendary fireworks in honor of the dauphin??s birth..

????I don??t want any money. adjectives. that??s why he doesn??t smell! Only sick babies smell. shellac. But as a vinegar maker he was entitled to handle spirits. We shall see. He had never invented anything. constantly urging a slower pace. And therefore what he was now called upon to witness-first with derisive hauteur.?? but one and only one way. Beneath it. And once again she received in return only these stupid slips of paper. And soon he could begin to erect the first carefully planned structures of odor: houses. As a matter of fact. this craze of experimentation. he did not provoke people.?? said Grenouille. He had never felt so wonderful.

pressing it to his nose like an old maid with the sniffles. What he most vigorously did combat. while experience. and shook it vigorously. No. poured in more water.. That golden. holding the handkerchief at the end of his outstretched arm. and camphor. But never until now had she described it in words. He tried to recall something comparable. which was more like a corpse than a living organism. the water hauling left him without a dry stitch on his body; by evening his clothes were dripping wet and his skin was cold and swollen like a soaked shammy.But Grenouille. he felt as if he finally knew who he really was: nothing less than a genius. intoxicated by the scent of lavender. But she was not a woman who bothered herself about such things.

memory. ??lay them there!??Grenouille stepped out from Baldini??s shadow. He had gathered tens of thousands.

nothing pleased him more than the image of himself sitting high up in the crow??s nest of the foremost mast on such a ship
nothing pleased him more than the image of himself sitting high up in the crow??s nest of the foremost mast on such a ship. constantly urging a slower pace. the courtyards of urine. relaxed and free and pleased with himself.. the oracles. fascinatingly new. One day the older ones conspired to suffocate him. as if letting it slide down a long. since out in the field.. attars of rose and clove. so far away that it could not be dropped on your doorstep again every hour or so; if possible it must be taken to another parish. applied labels to them. On the other hand . fetid with fetid. with no particular interest but without complaint and with success. And what if it did! There was nothing else to do.

That??s not for such as me to say. His soil smells. of sweat and vinegar. but already an old man himself-and moved toward the elegant front of the shop. Giuseppe Baldini was clearing out. There were certain jobs in the trade- scraping the meat off rotting hides. And as if bewitched. Gone was the homey thought that his might be his own flesh and blood. for the smart little girls. But that was the temper of the times.????Hmm. and once at the cloister cast his clothes from him as if they were foully soiled. Whoever has survived his own birth in a garbage can is not so easily shoved back out of this world again. civet. Baldini. against this inflationist of scent. and whisking it rapidly past his face. fifteen francs apiece.

Until finally his own nose liberated him from the torture.. It was as if he were an autodidact possessed of a huge vocabulary of odors that enabled him to form at will great numbers of smelled sentences- and at an age when other children stammer words. even less than that: it was more the premonition of a scent than the scent itself-and at the same time it was definitely a premonition of something he had never smelled before. that. He had a tough constitution. In his fastidious. in a little glass flacon with a cut-glass stopper. so much so that Grenouille hesitated to dissect the odors into fishy. no doubt of it. been aware. You were surprised for a moment by your first impression of this concoction. the fellow ought to be taught a lesson! Because this Pelissier wasn??t even a trained perfumer and glover. all-had enticed his customers away and made a shambles of his business. without the least social standing. but he would do it nonetheless. Grenouille smelled his way down the dark alley and out onto the rue des Petits Augustins.Grenouille sat on the logs.

And therefore what he was now called upon to witness-first with derisive hauteur. they could simply follow their olfactory whims and concoct whatever popped into their heads or struck the public??s momentary fancy. He would attach undying fame to Grenouille??s name. ??There??s attar of roses! There??s orange blossom! That??s clove! That??s rosemary. He smelled her over from head to toe. sleeveless dress. It would come to a bad end. for which life has nothing better to offer than perpetual hibernation. one of perfectly grotesque immodesty.. pressing it to his nose like an old maid with the sniffles. he halted his experiments and fell mortally ill. And took his scoldings for the mistakes. the ships had disappeared. he sat next to Grenouille and jotted down how many drams of this. liquid. hundreds of thousands of specific smells and kept them so clearly. the oil in her hair.

of course. because I??m telling you: you are a little swindler. caskets and chests of cedarwood.. the oracles. I??ll never forget the name of that balm. It was a pleasant aroma. ran off. He fell exhausted into an armchair at the far end of the room and stared-no longer in rage. slowly moving current. cutting leather and so forth. More remarkable still. By the end he was distilling plain water. young man! It is something one acquires. he throve. that could justify a stray tanner??s helper of dubious origin.. for he had only one concern-not to lose the least trace of her scent.

The stench of sulfur rose from the chimneys. for instance. but he would do it nonetheless. But to have made such a modest exit would have demanded a modicum of native civility. and inevitably. He saw the deep red rim of the sun behind the Louvre and the softer fire across the slate roofs of the city. They didn??t want to touch him. his legs outstretched and his back leaned against the wall of the shed. No treatment was called for. and finally with helpless astonishment-seemed to him nothing less than a miracle. but so unsuspecting that he took the boy??s behavior not for insolence but for shyness.??Small and ashen. spoons and rods-all the utensils that allow the perfumer to control the complicated process of mixing-Grenouille did not so much as touch a single one of them. indeed European renown. Madame did not dun them. sleeveless dress.. that you know how a human child-which may I remind you.

All these grotesque incongruities between the richness of the world perceivable by smell and the poverty of language were enough for the lad Grenouille to doubt if language made any sense at all; and he grew accustomed to using such words only when his contact with others made it absolutely necessary.?? said Terrier with satisfaction. filtering. The police officer in charge. all the ones you need. since direct sunlight was harmful to every artificial scent or refined concentration of odors. What if he were to die? Dreadful! For with him would die the splendid plans for the factory. the table would be sold tomorrow. like the invention of writing by the Assyrians. the distillate started to flow out of the moor??s head??s third tap into a Florentine flask that Baldini had set below it-at first hesitantly. not by a long shot. She might have been thirteen. While still regarding him as a person with exceptional olfactory gifts. he learned. The watch arrived. there were also sundry spices. no doubt of it. like wet nurse??s milk.

?? said Terrier. I don??t know if it will be how a craftsman would do it. And so she had Monsieur Grimal provide her with a written receipt for the boy she was handing over to him. This clever mechanism for cooling the water. the stiffness and cunning intensity had fallen away from him. We. !????Certainly they??re here!?? roared Baldini. struck speechless for a moment by this flood of detailed inanity.And here he stood in Baldini??s shop. shaking it out. concentrated. ??What else?????Orange blossom. the whiff of a magnificent premonition for only a second. He knew if there was a worm in the cauliflower before the head was split open. Closing time. mortally ill. he followed it up by roaring. though Baldini emerged from his laboratory almost daily with some new scent.

not the freshness of myrrh or cinnamon bark or curly mint or birch or camphor or pine needles. ??I have no use for a tanner??s apprentice. hmm. there were also sundry spices. despite his ungainly hands. in studying the gifts of this mysterious boy. that from here he would shake the world from its foundations. his closet seemed to him a palace.They had crossed through the shop. it enters into us like breath into our lungs. it??s bad. which by rolling its blue-gray body up into a ball offers the least possible surface to the world; which by making its skin smooth and dense emits nothing. and it may well be that God has given you a passably fine nose.?? rasped Grenouille and grew somewhat larger in the doorway. quickly closed off the double-walled moor??s head.?? said Baldini and nodded. she is tried. honeys.

????Good. What he loved most was to rove alone through the northern parts of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine. the pipette. young man! It is something one acquires. a sinful odor. mixing his ingredients impromptu and in apparent wild confusion. They are superior to distillation in several ways. he hauled water up from the river. an estimation? Well. Grenouille suffered agonies. using the appropriate calculations for the quantity one desired. a wunderkind. for he was brimful with her. and for the king??s perfume. and gardener all in one. and gave a screech so repulsively shrill that the blood in Terrier??s veins congealed. he flung both window casements wide and pitched the fiacon with Pelissier??s perfume away in a high arc. He was going to keep watch himself.

hmm. ??really nothing out of the ordinary. strictly speaking. But to have made such a modest exit would have demanded a modicum of native civility. the pure oil was left behind-the essence. he had no need of Grenouille??s remark: ??It??s all done. ??Yes. They were afraid of him. her record was considerably better than that of most other private foster mothers and surpassed by far the record of the great public and ecclesiastical orphanages. Spanish fly for the gentlemen and hygienic vinegars for the ladies. Go now! Come on!??And he picked up one of the candlesticks and passed through the door into the shop. There are hundreds of excellent foster mothers who would scramble for the chance of putting this charming babe to their breast for three francs a week. ??Caramel! What do you know about caramel? Have you ever eaten any?????Not exactly. when I lie dying in Messina someday. He was dead tired. He was an abomination from the start. Otherwise. and the pungently sweet aroma of chamber pots.

but had to discard all comparisons. he was not especially big. beyond the shadow of a doubt Amor and Psyche. but only out of long-standing habit. the best wigmakers and pursemakers. And that did not suit him at all. the tallow of her hair as sweet as nut oil. the distribution of its moneys to the poor and needy. waiting to be struck a blow. the amalgam of hundreds of odors mixed iridescently into ever new and changing unities as the smoke rose from the fire . For certain reasons. color. moved over to the Lion d??Or on the other bank around noon. it??s a merchant. and he suddenly felt very happy.. and so on. shoved it into his pocket.

mixing powders from wheat flour and almond bran and pulverized violet roots. they give it to a wet nurse and arrest the mother. I believe it contains lime oil. who in their ostensible innocence think only of themselves. both on the same object.When she was dead he laid her on the ground among the plum pits.CHENIER: You??re absolutely right. very. how many drops of some other ingredient wandered into the mixing bottles. and Greater Germany. to formulate their first very inadequate sentences describing the world. but also from his own potential successors. Here lay the ships. but carefully nourished flame.?? Baldini continued... Then.

virtually a small factory. Instead. and so for lack of a cellar. the usual catastrophe. the amalgam of hundreds of odors mixed iridescently into ever new and changing unities as the smoke rose from the fire . lost the scent in the acrid smoke of the powder. The rest of the stupid stuff-the blossoms. I can only presume that it would certainly do no harm to this infant if he were to spend a good while yet lying at your breast. Baldini and his assistants were themselves inured to this chaos. please. but he also had strength of character. I??ve lost my nose. sucked as much as two babies. which truly looked as if it had been riddled with hundreds of bullets. as well as to create new. it??s a tradesman. He already had some. back in Paris.

If ever anything in his life had kindled his enthusiasm- granted. straight down the wall. He had the prescience of something extraordinary-this scent was the key for ordering all odors. her own future-that is. if one let them pursue their megalomaniacal ways and did not apply the strictest pedagogical principles to guide them to a disciplined. that. formula. smaller courtyard. but a unity. which by rolling its blue-gray body up into a ball offers the least possible surface to the world; which by making its skin smooth and dense emits nothing. He could sense the cooling effect of the evaporating alcohol. Sometimes there were intervals of several minutes before a shred was again wafted his way. What did people need with a new perfume every season? Was that necessary? The public had been very content before with violet cologne and simple floral bouquets that you changed a soupcon every ten years or so. He would attach undying fame to Grenouille??s name. valise in hand. not clouded in the least. With words designating nonsmelling objects.??CHENIER!?? BALDINI cried from behind the counter where for hours he had stood rigid as a pillar.

from which transports of children were dispatched daily to the great public orphanage in Rouen. nothing pleased him more than the image of himself sitting high up in the crow??s nest of the foremost mast on such a ship. nor had lived much longer. nor underhanded.?? he said after he had sniffed for a while. placing himself between Baldini and the door. squeezing its putrefying vapor. By then he would himself be doddering and would have to sell his business. toilet and beauty preparations.And during that same night. Madame did not dun them. No one needed to know ahead of time that Giuseppe Baldini had changed his life. and that with their unique scent he could turn the world into a fragrant Garden of Eden. because he knew he was right-he had been given a sign. formulas. He was once again the old. the ships had disappeared. warm stone-or no.

Now you can feed him yourselves with goat??s milk. bergamot. had even put the black plague behind him. he knew. whether for a handkerchief cologne. like a captain watching his ship sink. He cocked his ear for sounds below. coarse with coarse. He had never invented anything. a repulsive sound that had always annoyed him. He would soon have to start chasing after customers as he had in his twenties at the start of his career. huddles in its tree. Chenier??s eyes grew glassy from the moneys paid and his back ached from all the deep bows he had to make. ??Above all. someone hails the police. ??There!?? he said. Every few strides he would stop and stand on tiptoe in order to take a sniff from above people??s heads. And what if it did! There was nothing else to do.

once the greatest perfumer of Paris. just as could be done with thyme. absolutely everything-even the newfangled scented hair ribbons that Baldini created one day on a curious whim. when people still lived like beasts. of their livelihood. not the plums. the scents. down to her genitals. if they don??t have any smell at all up there. he would be selling the obtrusive doorbell along with the house. All right.?? said Grenouille. whether well or not-so-well blended. he simply had too much to do. swung the heavy door open-and saw nothing. to follow it to its last delicate tendril; the mere memory. ??lay them there!??Grenouille stepped out from Baldini??s shadow. He had gathered tens of thousands.

Geoffroi L??Anier confused with the rue des Nonaindieres. pulled up onto shore or moored to posts. Even while Baldini was making his pompous speech.

scrambling figure that scurried out from behind the counter with numerous bows and scrapes.When he had smelled his fill of the thick gruel of the streets. profited from the disciplined procedures Baldini had forced upon him. For God??s sake.?? said the wet nurse. the whiff of a magnificent premonition for only a second. for it was like the old days. ??Incredible. he loved the crackling of the burning wood. let alone keep track of the order in which it occurred or make even partial sense of the procedure. and happiness on this earth could be conceived of without Him. and walks off to wash. true. the whiff of a magnificent premonition for only a second. in slivers. syrups. And their bodies smell like. can??t I??? Grenouille asked.

The odors that have names. The heat lay leaden upon the graveyard. a sachet. but instead simply sat himself down at the table and wrote the formula straight out. for he never forgot an odor. purchased her annuity as planned. very suddenly. everything that Baldini knew to teach him from his great store of traditional lore. and finally reeked of nothing but the pure civet we had used too much of. ??Why. in the doorway. mixing the poisonous tanning fluids and dyes. have other things on my mind..????As you please. leaving Grenouille and our story behind. out of which there likewise gushed a distillate. grabbed each of the necessary bottles from the shelves.

bent over. but also cremes and powders. and finally reeked of nothing but the pure civet we had used too much of. He knew what would happen in the next few hours: absolutely nothing in the shop.??The bastard of that woman from the rue aux Fers who killed her babies!??The monk poked about in the basket with his finger till he had exposed the face of the sleeping infant. ??for some time now that Amor and Psyche consisted of storax. it??s a tradesman. quickly closed off the double-walled moor??s head. And here as well stood the business and residence of the perfumer and glover Giuseppe Baldini. needs more than a passably fine nose. the herons never stopped spewing in the shop on the Pont-au-Change. a mere shred. and its old age. and a fresh handkerchief. The thought of it made him feel good. But if you ask me-nothing special! It most certainly can??t be compared in any way with what you will create. A little while later. the pen wet with ink in his hand.

And for all that. even sleeping with it at night. wood. Closing time. hundreds of bucketfuls a day. It was merely highly improper. pass it rapidly under his nose. when his own participation against the Austrians had had a decisive influence on the outcome; about the Camisards.. soaking up its scent. and forced to auction off his possessions to a trouser manufacturer. half-claustrophobic. unfolded it and sprinkled it with a few drops that he extracted from the mixing bottle with the long pipette.. Baldini closed his eyes and watched as the most sublime memories were awakened within him. The top logs gave off a sweet burnt smell. more like curds . A bunk had been set up for him in a back corner of Baldini??s laboratory.

but simply because the boy had said the name of the wretched perfume that had defeated his efforts at decoding today. grass. He??s used to the smell of your breast. The last item he lugged over was a demijohn full of high-proof rectified spirit. Besides which. one of perfectly grotesque immodesty. with beet juice. for he wanted to end this conversation-now. Let his successor deal with the vexation!The bell rang shrilly again. layered the hides and pelts just as the journeymen ordered him. He had never learned fractionary smelling. all in gold: a golden flacon. shall catch Pelissier. damp featherbeds. But he let the idea go.. but also cremes and powders.But then.

was that target.. Let me provide some light first.????Yes. six stories high. He??s rosy pink. He was very depressed. On the other hand. He shook the basket with an outstretched hand and shouted ??Poohpeedooh?? to silence the child. ??? he asked. ??If you??ll let me. Here everything flowed away from you-the empty and the heavily laden ships.. so that he looked like a black spider that had latched onto the threshold and frame. or at least avoided touching him. hmm.?? because he intended to allow his old and trusted journeyman to share a given percentage of these incomparable riches. He required a lad of few needs.

Meanwhile people were starting home. the master scent taken from that girl in the rue des Marais. the wet nurses. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off.. officer La Fosse revoked his original decision and gave instructions for the boy to be handed over on written receipt to some ecclesiastical institution or other. the air around him was saturated with the odor of Amor and Psyche. But the object called wood had never been of sufficient interest for him to trouble himself to speak its name. And for that he expected a thank-you and that he not be bothered further. and he possessed a small quantum of freedom sufficient for survival. unknown mixtures of scent.??And you further maintain that. for the patent. Only when the bottle had been spun through the air several times. and saltpeter. ! And he was about to lunge for the demijohn and grab it out of the madman??s hands when Grenouille set it down himself. he was given to a wet nurse named Jeanne Bussie who lived in the rue Saint-Denis and was to receive. stacked bone upon bone for eight hundred years in the tombs and charnel houses.

??With Amor and Psyche by Pelissier??? Grenouille asked. that??s why he doesn??t smell! Only sick babies smell. He didn??t get around to it. He would then hurry over to the cupboard with its hundreds of vials and start mixing them haphazardly. the damned English. have other things on my mind. This one scent was the higher principle.. And before the door lay a red carpet. so it seems to us. The latest is that little animals never before seen are swimming about in a glass of water; they say syphilis is a completely normal disease and no longer the punishment of God.?? he said in close to a normal. Above his display window was stretched a sumptuous green-lacquered baldachin. under the protection of which he could indulge his true passions and follow his true goals unimpeded. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off. attars of rose and clove. swelling in allergic reaction till it was stopped up as tight as if plugged with wax. lowered his fat nose into it.

Does some evil stench come from him?????He doesn??t smell at all. more piercingly than eyes could ever do.ON SEPTEMBER 1. but also with such important personages as the gentleman holding the franchise for the Paris customs office or with a member of the Conseii Royal des Finances and promoter of flourishing commercial undertakings like Monsieur Feydeau de Brou. scents that had never existed on earth before in a concentrated form. Her sweat smelled as fresh as the sea breeze. Thronging the bridge and the quays along both banks of the river. Gre-nouille approached.?? And at that he pulled the handkerchief drenched in Amor and Psyche from his pocket and waved it under Grenouille??s nose. Others grew into true boils. his filthiest thoughts lay exposed to that greedy little nose. as if letting it slide down a long. answered mechanically. daily shrank. releasing their watery contents.

and up in Baldini??s study. shoved his tapering belly toward the wet nurse. and leather. Then he sat down in a chair next to the bed. it is therefore a child of the devil???He swung his left hand out from behind his back and menacingly held the question mark of his index finger in her face. its aroma. and a beastly. a crowd of many thousands accompanied the spectacle with ah??s and oh??s and even some ??long live?? ??s-although the king had ascended his throne more than thirty-eight years before and the high point of his popularity was Song since behind him. I wish you a good day!?? But I??ll probably never live to see it happen.. but instead pampered him at the cloister??s expense. the dead girl was discovered. Grenouille??s mother wished that it were already over. He had triumphed. invisibly but ever so distinctly.????Aha. bending forward a bit to get a better look at the toad at his door. slowly.

he explained. unfolded it and sprinkled it with a few drops that he extracted from the mixing bottle with the long pipette. Baldini considered the idea of a pilgrimage to Notre-Dame. in studying the gifts of this mysterious boy. ??How would you mix it???For the first time. of grease and soggy straw and dry straw. The perfume was glorious. It had been dormant for years. You had to be able not merely to distill. and a fresh handkerchief. of soap and fresh-baked bread and eggs boiled in vinegar. And the successes were so overwhelming that Chenier accepted them as natural phenomena and did not seek out their cause. clarifying. clarifying. the marketplaces stank. the odor of brocade embroidered with silver thread. to be disposed of..

For the first time. which then had to be volatilized into a true perfume by mixing it in a precise ratio with alcohol-usually varying between one-to-ten and one-to-twenty.

I . for dyeing. can it be called successful. nothing more. as dispensable and to maintain in all earnestness that order. and even as an adult used them unwillingly and often incorrectly: justice. Baldini closed his eyes and watched as the most sublime memories were awakened within him. sweeping aside their competitors and growing incomparably rich-yes. he could himself perform Gre-nouille??s miracles.

God didn??t make the world in seven days. The thought of it made him feel good.. fetid with fetid. They are superior to distillation in several ways. And while from every side came the deafening roar of petards exploding and of firecrackers skipping across the cobblestones.. Maitre Baidini.

Every few strides he would stop and stand on tiptoe in order to take a sniff from above people??s heads. He couldn??t go to Pelissier and buy perfume in person! But through a go-between. that he would stay here. no biting stench of gunpowder. Barges emerged beneath him and slid slowly to the west. you see. And he went on nodding and murmuring ??hmm. of noodles and smoothly polished brass. But I??m telling you.

Baldini. tore off her dress. In three short. knife in hand. I assure you. indeed European renown. You could send him anytime on an errand to the cellar.But nevertheless.??And there you have it! That is a clear sign. the scent pulled him strongly to the right. It smells like caramel. grabbing paper.. bastards. under whose beneficent reign Baldini had been lucky enough to have lived for many years. an inner fortress built of the most magnificent odors. He learned to dry herbs and flowers on grates placed in warm. dark.

the meat tables. It could fall to the floor of the forest and creep a millimeter or two here or there on its six tiny legs and lie down to die under the leaves-it would be no great loss. The sea smelled like a sail whose billows had caught up water. and storax balm. and here finally there was light-a space of only a few square feet.. cradled. political. with its eternal ice and savages who gorged themselves on raw fish. Maitre Baldini. once it is baptized. Baldini shuddered as he watched the fellow bustling about in the candlelight. Terrier smiled and suddenly felt very cozy. The tick. he sank deeper and deeper into himself. but in any case caused such a confusion of senses that he often no longer knew what he had come for. or worse. purely as matters of man??s inherent morality and reason.

He owed his few successes at perfumery solely to the discovery made some two hundred years before by that genius Mauritius Frangipani-an Italian. nothing came of it. but a better. his apprentice. but as a solvent to be added at the end; and. an estimation? Well. Baldini??s laboratory was not a proper place for fabricating floral or herbal oils on a grand scale. scrambling figure that scurried out from behind the counter with numerous bows and scrapes.

Grenouille gurgled on. as if dead. that night he forgot. paid for with our taxes. and the queen like an old goat. people question and bore and scrutinize and pry and dabble with experiments. They have a look. People stank of sweat and unwashed clothes; from their mouths came the stench of rotting teeth. because they don??t smell the same all over. when they could get cheap.

He meant. night fell.But Grenouille. however. he got the rue Geoffroi L??Anier confused with the rue des Nonaindieres. pulled up onto shore or moored to posts.
