For as long as anyone can remember, a man named Luca Turin has had an uncanny relationship with smells. He has been compared to the hero of Patrick Suskind's novel "Perfume," but his story is in fact stranger, because it is true.
The Perfect Scent is the thrilling inside story of the global perfume industry, told through two creators working on two very different scents.
An insider's view of the perfume industry follows the creation of two major new fragrances--one developed in Paris for an exclusive luxury goods house, the other made in New York by a collaboration between Coty, Inc., and actress Sarah Jessica Parker.
Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, the story follows Anne Rosenbaum, a privileged woman married to a Hollywood executive, Howard, and raising their teenage son, Sam. Their relationship began at Columbia University, where their contrasting backgrounds—Anne's British diplomat lineage and Howard's Orthodox Jewish upbringing—shaped their dynamic. The narrative explores themes of identity, cultural differences, and the complexities of family life in a glamorous yet challenging environment.
