Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a novel by Patrick Süskind, originally published in 1985 in German as Das Parfum. The novel is a dark, atmospheric tale set in 18th-century France, focusing on Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, an isolated and obsessive character with an extraordinary sense of smell. John E. Woods' translation of Perfume into English is widely praised for capturing the novel's dark, sensual tone while remaining faithful to the original German text. His translation played a crucial role in the international success of Perfume, making it accessible to a wider audience. Perfume became a global bestseller, garnering widespread critical acclaim.
