That bewildering desire is seen through the essence--

perfume- desires pervade the world, and only a wise mind can make the self-nature not get lost in the bewildering desires!

The film perfume is very beautiful. The oil painting-like pictures, romantic colors, composition and animation bring unparalleled visual impact and pull our imagination; the
philosophical and fascinating plot, let us follow the fictional character Ge Nuo The ups and downs of Ye's life's ups and downs are comprehended by the miraculous charm of perfume.

What is incense?
Durian fragrance, people who like to eat it say it is very fragrant. And people who don't like it say it's a nasty, nasty smell of cat shit.

The essence of fragrance is nothing more than a feeling that people get through the taste cells of the nose, and the awareness of this taste leads your desire, and when it makes you feel good, it is fragrant.

People who have never eaten durian think that durian is stinky, and most people think that durian is fragrant because of the soft, smooth, delicate and satisfying taste of durian.

It can be seen that the smell is not an objective standard, but a very subjective feeling.


The plot of the movie lets Gnoye represent this feeling of bewildering the world, which is born in the place that makes people feel the dirtiest and stinkiest, and then transforms it into a god that makes people feel the most beautiful and admired by all people.
The ending of the story is even more unique, allowing the god who confuses the world to disappear into the most filthy place of origin.

Philosophically tell us that there is no essential difference between the most fragrant and the most smelly, the difference is only your own lost desire!

This is not a movie about love, love is just a kind of desire.
Fragrance is the origin of people's desire. It tells the world about the nature of desire through Gnoye's evil. The desire to control the fragrance can make the most virtuous priests and nuns do the most outrageous things in public, and
let everyone The murderer they all agree with, instantly changed from a devil to an angel. Desire makes you a devil or an angel depends on your life cultivation.


Many people think that "the scene of the climax group sex in the film made Gnoye stand alone on the celestial square covered with nakedness, and the scene of the red-haired girl who was killed by mistake repeatedly appeared in the camera,
and even made Gonou Yi shed tears later. To teach a man to understand that he grieves because he can gain the admiration of all but not the love of a girl, obviously misunderstands the theme of the work and dwarfs the work. "


If you understand the essence of fragrance, you will not feel this way. . The sense of smell has always existed. What is difficult to grasp is not whether it exists, but how it exists in one's heart, because it is something that
everyone knows exists but cannot prove, because of the effect it produces in everyone's body. are different.

When Gnoye got lost in group sex, the red-haired girl appeared in his mind, which represented the first time Gnoye felt the most attractive and controlling desire factor in the world—the body fragrance of a virgin. The virgin in many cultures is a metaphor for the purest and most beautiful things in the world.
When you have the most pure and beautiful things in the world, you are an angel and you are a god! This is how the director expresses his philosophy. Gnoye's tears were clearly mocking the world being confused by that virgin incense and only seeing the surface of things.
Gnoye has done so many evil things, and it is because he sprinkled a shell that represents purity and beauty, and he has changed from a devil to an angel, which is pathetic and pathetic!

This is not a story that reflects real history. It metaphors our lives through various characters, collides with our emotions, and allows us to comprehend the wisdom of life from fiction.

Is it you who control the desire or the desire controls you! A heaven, a hell!

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer quotes

  • Giuseppe Baldini: Now pay attention to what I tell you. Just like a musical chord, a perfume chord contains four essences, or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity. Each perfume contains three chords: the head, the heart and the base, necessitating 12 notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the base chord, the trail of the perfume lasting several days.

    Giuseppe Baldini: Mind you, the Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others. Legend had it that an amphora was once found in a pharaoh's tomb, and when it was opened, a perfume was released, after all those thousands of years, a perfume of such subtle beauty, and yet such power, that for one single moment every person on earth believed they were in paradise. 12 essences could be identified, but the 13th, the vital one, could never be determined.

  • Narrator: For the first time in his life, Grenouille realized that he had no smell of his own. He realized that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone. What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion. It was as though he did not exist.
