Odors have the power by itself to make us happy or sad, to bring it back memories of certain times of our lifes and even memories that we cannot remember, from our subconscious. In the movie “The Perfum”, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, the main character, born without your own odor, and he made his life by extracting the pure women’s perfum and use it to make people love him.

Explanation: Grenouille always had this addiction to feel the odor of all the things: places, food, actions, people, etc. Considering the fact that he born without your own odor and without self-love or love by anyone, he iniciate a journey to make the perfect perfume, by murdering pure virgin lady’s and extracting their odor, assuming that after the perfum’s done he will get the power to control the world and make people adore him.

This is true, smell is the sense of memory and desire. Scents can carry back memories and it can set off pics and memories. They can be used to carry again high-quality childhood memories.
