The opening scene of the film is the scene of the Paris market, and the incense in the eighteenth century is filled with unimaginable stench. Batiste Greenow was born near a fish stall. He is short and ugly, and he has no smell. In addition to this strange defect, Greenow also has a sense of smell that is inferior to that of ordinary people. After his birth, he was abandoned by his mother in the garbage dump. When he was young, Mrs. Gallagher sold him at a price. Since then, Greenow has worked hard to make ends meet.

In the years when he was spurned by others, he dreamed of copying all the smells in his sense of smell and making them reappear on himself. Paris is Greenow's fragrance-seeking garden. On the banks of the Seine, he met a pure and kind girl fragrance. In order to possess it, Greenow strangled the girl selling fruit. That night, he vaguely realized the direction of his destiny.

Greenow showed his talent to perfume manufacturer Baldik. Baldik bought him a perfume workshop as a buddy. Greenow started to trial-produce various perfume coats for himself, and his perfume saved the workshop and made it famous for a while. During these days, Greenow discovered that smell is the only thing that can penetrate into the heart. It distinguishes love from disgust there. Whoever masters the smell will master people's hearts.

Greenow, who was freed, lived in seclusion in the mountains and filtered out the disgusting smell of the past. After that, he traveled to France to find the fragrance of manipulating people's behavior consciousness. In a small port town, Greenow Ye once again found it from girls.

Greenow killed 26 young girls, and extracted the residual body fragrance from their bodies to make the most bewitching perfume. This bottle of magic perfume made him turn his execution ground into a carnival to gain love. When the town was in a state of anxiety for Greenow, Greenow returned to Paris. In his birthplace, people were fascinated by a bottle of strange new incense and frantically tore Greenow into pieces and ate them separately.
