I read the book last year and absolutely loved it. Enjoy! Didn't see the movie except for several scenes on youtube. The author seems to know quite alot about perfume... What my friends thought was outlandish (excrement in perfume) I thought was just normal.
I bought a copy in August to read on a train trip. Did I read on the train? No. I can't read with screaming children climbing thier seats... I hope you are enjoying it!
I see the Perfumed Court offers a sample coffret of the perfumes by Mugler that were released along with the movie. It would be fun to "sniff along" with the book.
Honestly I didn't love the film- that isn't to say there aren't good things about it- I love Ben Whishaw, he is a wonderful wonderful actor and he captures the lead characters strangeness and isolation from the world- but it's just such a hard book to film I think
