“He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.”
― Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
― Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
“For people could close their eyes to greatness, to horrors, to beauty, and their ears to melodies or deceiving words. But they couldn't escape scent. For scent was a brother of breath.

He who ruled scent ruled the hearts of men.”
