Lets take a trip behind the glamorous facade of the Perfume industry
Four stories, four characters, one thing in common: the search for the ultimate essence.
The essence of eternal life.
A starred nose in crises, who has reached stardom status can pay any price for the essence he has never found.
A young Apprentice nose, who finds the most precious and rare spice.
A mafia affiliate in danger of being replaced sees his wife taking over his business.
A manufacturer of perfumes, which produces his essence for a small niche of market, with a mission.
These are the elements for yet another epic framed by one of Italy’s excellences.
