(++) Bold, fresh, and evocative use of smell as the main form of perception throughout the book
(++) Fascinating blend of perfumery lessons with the constant underlying unease that surrounds Grenouille
(+) Novel premiseÂ
(+) Beautiful prose even through translation

(–) Gratuitous description ofa father lusting after his own daughter
