The driving force behind our transformations, an instrument of social affirmation, a weapon of emancipation: how did perfume, from a simple bottle, become both a reflection of our personal revolutions and an object of gender manipulation? Over the centuries, its notes have been in tune with those of history, clinging to the necks of struggles and the wrists of wars. Its bottles have perfumed wars and revolts and continue, even today, to reflect the social norms that surround and confine us. This film, like the book from which it is adapted, is a declaration of love for perfume.
