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 odor he cannot capture. It is exquisite, magical: the scent of a young virgin. And to get it he must kill. And kill. And kill.

Because you were the last one (? or last but one?) to receive your Inter-National RABCK you're the lucky one and get another book :-) !
The plot is set in France, but it's written by a German author. When the movie came out the book became well known all over the world, so I hope you don't know it already.

Thanx a lot Apolonia! It seems like you guessed that I wanted to read again this book as I read it a long time ago, and wanted to have a second read as I liked it a lot! Thanx so much, you are very kind, and the adesive labels are wonderful :)
I read this the first time in Italian a few years ago, and reading it in English was like reading a book from scratch :) Thanx ApoloniaX for sending this, now it's time to let it travel again!
