About this listen
A downloadable audiobook edition of the modern classic Perfume read by Sean Barrett.
Survivor, genius, perfumer, killer: This is Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. He is abandoned on the filthy streets of Paris as a child, but grows up to discover he has an extraordinary gift: A sense of smell more powerful than any other human's.
Soon, he is creating the most sublime fragrances in all the city. Yet there is one odour he cannot capture. It is exquisite, magical: The scent of a young virgin. And to get it he must kill. And kill. And kill...

Smell has never been so Wonderfully evil
This is probably one of the best books that I have ever read/listened to. It enthralls you from the very beginning. It takes you down a dark road and makes you experience the world in a totally different way. The characters are well thought out. The story flows and the performer Sean Barrett is exceptionally talented. He brings life to the characters, you can "see" them, or more importantly, you can smell them.
Thank you for providing such a wonderful work of literature.

Amazing narration
I love the book and the narrator truly added a very nice rhythm to this audio version of it. This book is a great start for anyone looking something intriguing and kind of mysterious.

Absolutely sublime
The most beautiful journey of the senses. Mind blowing content narrated to take you into the mind of a psychopath.

Spellbinding
Like Granouille himself in all his guises, this story and performance were spellbinding. I could not put it down or turn it off. My house has never been cleaner nor my dog more exhausted from all the walks its been getting, just so I could listen more.

Interesting book
Did not care for the narrator's voice and would've been better with a female narrator.
