PERFUME, SEASON 1, EPISODE 1-2
What happens when fiction overtakes reality? What if feelings are manipulated and no one has anything left to lose? In 2018, somewhere in the lower Rhine valley, a brutal series of murders occurs. A young profiler uses idiosyncratic methods to investigate the crimes. A clue leads to the past: to five boarding-school pupils in search of power and love who experimented with the secret of human scent — and with the ideas from Patrick Süskind's bestseller "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer".
