![]() Ironically enough for someone who smells nothing, Grenouille is obsessed with scent, and his sense of smell is incredible. ![]() ![]() This guy goes without bathing for years and he simply doesn’t smell like anything. Not as a baby, not as a child, not as a teen nor as a man. He has abilities beyond what’s possible for a human.Īnd, most notably: Grenouille doesn’t have a smell. He displays psychopathic behavior and creeps everyone out. Everyone who meets him feels like they’ve seen something cursed, like they need to wash their hands. It’s very apparent from the very beginning something is supernaturally wrong with the boy. In fact, everything about Perfume: The Story of a Murderer makes me think Grenouille is supposed to be the actual Antichrist - or at least some demonic Antichrist prototype. ![]() Something about this feels like a twisted sort of Christ allegory in reverse. ![]()
