[Comprehensive film and television] The formula of perfume

【Adele】

I stormed out of the perfume workshop, vowing never to see Grenouille again.

Why do I keep accommodating and caring about him, never getting anything in return, but I can't help but want to get close to him, are you a masochist, Adele!

Never go to see him again, just treat him as a stranger from now on!

but……

After a few days, I regretted it. Grenouille's sudden change was too abrupt, there must be some reason.But when I broke free from the intense emotions of anger and grievance, and calmed down completely to think about his abnormality, I couldn't get out.

Sneaking out from the party, although he sneaked back quickly, he was discovered by Master Riches, the actual biological father of his nominal uncle, and then began a long grounding.

Compared with Laura, he was a little too strict with me. The housekeeper said it was because he had high expectations for me, but I couldn't see a trace of warmth from his serious face, and even the good night kiss was cold.

He doesn't love me, I'm sure.

So sooner or later I have to escape from here, but not now, I still have too much to learn.I don't want to be a waif the next time I run away.

I have lived in Riches's house for a long time, and I am familiar with the family servants. I once asked a servant to bring food to Grenouille twice.I knew he didn't care about money, but I was worried that his body would be worn down by heavy labor, so I brought him a big basket full of bacon, eggs and ham.

Sent it twice and returned it intact both times.

This hit me in the face twice in a row, including those words he said in the workshop, a total of three times, and three times severely hurt my poor self-esteem!

I swear that I will never bother him again in a short time!

In fact, there are very few opportunities for me to ask someone to carry things, and the order of confinement has not been lifted. From getting up in the morning, stretching my waist and stretching my legs to learn dance, piano and female red, to reading and writing in the afternoon, practicing etiquette and dressing up, and to free time at night. Soaking in the study, my time has been very full.

In addition, I was angry with Grenouille, so I kept not looking for him, saying that I was busy, had no time or opportunity, and that he didn't want to see me.

If I knew that my willfulness would bring such dire consequences, I would try my best to stay by his side and stop him by all means.

A few months after I was grounded, panic began to spread in the city of Grasse, and unscrupulous rumors and fear abounded. My nominal uncle, Mr. Riches, also came back from the place where he was talking about business. He was the second The Senator, also a father with a daughter at home, had to be sensitive.

A girl killer appeared in the city of Grasse. He was elusive, and the victims were all beautiful women like paintings. Their naked bodies were thrown in rose gardens, flower fields, large pools and other places.These women were beaten to death from the back of the head with a stick, their clothes were stripped off, and their hair was shaved. Other than that, there were no scars on their bodies, not even traces of rape/dirty.

Yes, all the women who were killed were still virgins, clean.

When I knew all this, the city of Grasse had already imposed a curfew for a month, and Riches strictly ordered his servants to tell Laura and me the rumors in the city. He just forbade us to go out, and Laura was not allowed to go out to buy needlework.

I heard about it from the naughty cook.

The first thought that popped into my mind was Grenouille.

However, before I could confirm all this, the archbishop performed a ritual on the pulpit of Our Lady, cursing and exorcising the murderer, and his practice seemed to be effective, and there were no murders for two months.

Not Grenouille, certainly not him.When everyone else was talking about the magic of the expulsion ceremony, only I rejoiced and cheered in my heart, and perhaps even comforted myself.

Soon word came from Grenoble that there had recently been a teenage murderer rampant, strangling his victims and ripping off their clothes and hair bit by bit.Although this crude crime had nothing in common with Glass's neat murders, everyone was convinced that the murderer was the same in both places.

The people of Glasgow felt relieved to have made the three crosses, and life, both public and private, returned to normal with incredible speed.

But Master Riches was still worried about letting Laura go alone. He was afraid when it got dark.That night, I nestled in a corner of the study as usual, leaning on a soft pillow in a very comfortable posture to read a book of botany.Riches walked in, and the large desk and closet covered my body, so that he didn't notice me, maybe it was because of his nervousness, he kept chanting "collections, collections... ..."

Riches sat down at the desk, took a pen and quickly took the paper to write something. After writing for a while, he paused and rubbed the space between his brows, and began to talk to himself again: "That's right, he is an ambitious collector. They all have such unique beauty, if he doesn’t violate them, then he must collect their beauty itself, and he won’t stop until he collects a complete set. Think about it, think about it carefully, if I were him, the collection would be worse What, can we make him stop? It's still... not enough... Laura!"

The things on the desk fell to the ground with a loud noise, and I was shocked. I said to myself that it was a sign of Rixis’s nervousness. I think it’s not a good idea to go out at this time to deal with bad luck.At this time, Riches had already started to rush out, shouting the butler's name: "Prepare the carriage, prepare the luggage, we are going out, far away!"

"I was planning to go to Grenoble early in the morning. It was so sudden. I couldn't understand what Dad was thinking. What do you say, Adele, do you know the reason?" Laura was dressed neatly. And without compromising her princess-like beauty.She was a well-developed young girl now, and from the time she went out to the carriage, all the passing servants were watching her secretly or openly.

"I don't know, but I think we can ride in the same carriage, can't we?" I smiled at her, hoping that my preoccupation would not show on my face.

Laura looked surprised: "You want to sit with me?"

I don't have the same daily activities as hers, so we don't have much interaction at home, but after all, there are only two girls in the house, and she is still very happy to be close to me.I nodded: "Since the master asked me to go out, I think we can talk together, and the journey will not be too boring."

"Of course!" Laura smiled even more beautifully, she really looked like a princess, but it only made me more disturbed: "I'll go and tell the butler to put your luggage in my carriage , the carriage is huge, we can go all the way..."

"No." The cold voice suddenly interrupted Laura's words, and Riches strode over, pulled Laura and me away, and said seriously: "I have prepared a carriage for each of you, pack it up and go back Get in your own car, don't get out if you have nothing to do."

Laura opened her eyes wide: "But, Dad, we want to..."

"You go up first, Adele." Richis frowned and turned to look at me.

I sighed, lifted my skirt and saluted: "Yes, sir."

Richis made this trip like a king's tour. Everyone in Grasse saw him leave Grasse with his daughter and niece and go to Grenoble where the girl killer was caught.

I vaguely guessed what he was trying to do, it was a bluff, he was trying to make the murderer think that Laura had gone to Grenoble, but no one knew where he was actually going.

But if the murderer was Grenouille, even if Laura fled to the ends of the earth, he would be able to track her down.

That's why I asked to ride in the same carriage as Laura, and I don't understand why Richis won't allow it.I guessed that he brought me out to divert the murderer's attention.Look, what I'm wearing now, the outfit I just changed, is exactly the same as what Laura wore when she was out of town.

If the murderer was not Grenouille, perhaps he would really be confused.

But Rishis had to do more than I thought. When I ate some food, I suddenly fell into a coma. When I woke up, I had already arrived in Grenoble, followed by two servants, but Rishis was nowhere to be seen. Adams and Laura.

【Jean Grenouille】

I have obtained by cold balsam from the bodies of maidens, from hair and clothes by maceration, by separation and distillation, priceless essences, twelve wonderful essences.

No. 13, the most precious and important fragrance, I want to get it today.

I used to think that the use of a bottle of perfume has a deadline, drop by drop, and when it is used up, it means that I will lose the fragrance again, and perfume cannot save the smell once and for all.

But I figured it out later, in order to possess this fragrance, I did have to pay a high price of losing this fragrance, but first possession and then loss - it is more worth pursuing than simply giving up both.

I think my past has had letting go, but never possession and loss.

So, at least let me have it first.

But when I finished my day's work and went outside to sniff the wind, I started to feel something was wrong.

One less smell, the one that is most important to me.

who is it?Who picked this wonderful scent before me?Tears welled up from my eyes at that moment, and I was almost numb with fright!

"Oh, Master Riches, he took his daughter to Grenoble today, and there is a huge team! Speaking of which, his daughter is so beautiful!" I asked around quietly, thanking the guard at the sentry for telling me this important news in time. News, my scent hasn't been taken from me yet.

But... Grenoble?

That's not what the smell on the wind told me.

Yes, I have recaptured this lovely fragrance again.Follow the smell, I can smell Adele's scent and the scent I want was almost together at one point, but they soon separated, Adele's scent is in the north, that may be Grenoble Bar.

And the flavor I'm looking for, south.The road to La Napoule follows the spurs of the Tanelon Mountains and crosses the riverine depressions of the Freyères and the Siagne.

In this uninhabited place, the smell is sparse, making it easy for me to distinguish the smell, and I will find the girl soon.The cliffside hotel, pitifully few people, no guards, great, easier than capturing scents in the Riches estate, absolutely!I am sure!

And, and—Adele isn't here!

If there is anyone I want to thank for the first time in my life, it must be Master Riches, Adele will not see all this, she will not come to stop me, and I will not be unstoppably drawn when I approach her Her smell is irresistible.

Adele is obviously immature, but her smell has a strange fatal attraction to me. I believe that this attraction will become more vigorous after a year, so I am extremely grateful for the decision to drive her away.

Oh, she must be angry and hasn't come to me for so long, but it's okay, I'm doing it for her own good.

In the dead of night, I quietly got up from the hotel's livestock pen. Without an oil lamp, I could easily avoid all obstacles, including the dead dog sleeping like a pig at the door of the hotel.The desire to come true made me so excited that tears filled my eyes, and my oily hands trembled slightly. This work requires the most precision, but at this time I couldn't help but start thinking wildly. When I successfully formulate this unique perfume, let The world is impressed in front of me, and Adele will understand how great everything I do is!

She will understand me!
