Ironically enough for someone who smells nothing, Grenouille is obsessed with scent, and his sense of smell is incredible. This guy goes without bathing for years and he simply doesn’t smell like anything. Not as a baby, not as a child, not as a teen nor as a man. He has abilities beyond what’s possible for a human.Īnd, most notably: Grenouille doesn’t have a smell. He displays psychopathic behavior and creeps everyone out. Everyone who meets him feels like they’ve seen something cursed, like they need to wash their hands.
It’s very apparent from the very beginning something is supernaturally wrong with the boy. In fact, everything about Perfume: The Story of a Murderer makes me think Grenouille is supposed to be the actual Antichrist - or at least some demonic Antichrist prototype. The sight had horrified him, and at the same time, he had to admit, fascinated him, for they all, each in her own special way, had been of dazzling beauty.Something about this feels like a twisted sort of Christ allegory in reverse. Richis had seen several of the girls murdered during August and September. No, he was still living here, among the citizens of Grasse, and at some point he would strike again. To be honest, he had not believed in the efficacy of the bishop’s anathema from the start, nor that the murderer was now prowling about Grenoble, nor that he had ever left town. He went back to his chamber, bathed in sweat and trembling with agitation, no, not with agitation, but with fear, for he finally admitted it to himself: it was naked fear that had seized him, and in admitting it he grew calmer and his thoughts clearer.
