Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 2006 period
psychological thriller film directed by Tom Tykwer
and starring Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel
Hurd-Wood, and Dustin Hoffman. Tykwer, with Johnny
Klimek and Reinhold Heil, also composed the music.
The screenplay, by Tykwer, Andrew Birkin and Bernd
Eichinger, is based on Patrick Suskind's 1985 novel
Perfume. Set in 18th century France, the film tells
the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw), an
olfactory genius, and his homicidal quest for the
perfect scent.

Producer Eichinger bought the film rights to
Süskind's novel in 2000 and began writing the
screenplay together with Birkin. Tykwer was selected
as the director and joined the two in developing the
screenplay in 2003. Principal photography began on
July 12, 2005 and concluded on October 16, 2005;
filming took place in Spain, Germany, and France.
The film was made on a budget of €50 million (est.
$60 million), making it one of the most expensive
German films.

Perfume was released on September 14, 2006 in
Germany, December 26, 2006 in the United Kingdom,
and December 27, 2006 in the United States. It
grossed over $135 million worldwide, of which over
$53 million was made in Germany. Critics' reviews of
the film were mixed; the consensus was that the film
had strong cinematography and acting but suffered
from an uneven screenplay.
