Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a 2006 period psychological thriller film directed by Tom Tykwer and starring Ben Whishaw, Alan Rickman, Rachel Hurd-Wood, and Dustin Hoffman. Tykwer, with Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil, also composed the music. The screenplay, by Tykwer, Andrew Birkin and Bernd Eichinger, is based on Patrick Süskind’s 1985 novel Perfume. Set in 18th century France, the film tells the story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Whishaw), an olfactory genius, and his homicidal quest for the perfect scent.
Producer Eichinger bought the film rights to Süskind’s novel in 2000 and began writing the screenplay together with Birkin. Tykwer was selected as the director and joined the two in developing the screenplay in 2003. Principal photography began on July 12, 2005 and concluded on October 16, 2005; filming took place in Spain, Germany, and France. The film was made on a budget of €50 million (est. $60 million), making it one of the most expensive German films.
Perfume was released on September 14, 2006 in Germany, December 26, 2006 in the United Kingdom, and December 27, 2006 in the United States. It grossed over $135 million worldwide, of which over $53 million was made in Germany. Critics’ reviews of the film were mixed; the consensus was that the film had strong cinematography and acting but suffered from an uneven screenplay.

Box office
The film was a financial success, especially in Europe, earning $135,039,943 worldwide. It opened in Germany on September 14, 2006 and was number one on the box office charts in its first three weeks. The film made $9.7 million in its opening weekend and an estimated 1.04 million people saw the film in its first four days of release in Germany. The film ended up selling over five million tickets and grossed $53,125,663, the highest German gross for a dramatic film. The film’s strong performance in Germany was attributed in part to a large marketing campaign and numerous premieres throughout the country.
By comparison, the film performed poorly in North America. The film had a three-theater limited release on December 27, 2006 before being expanded to 280 theaters on January 5, 2007. The film completed its theatrical run in North America on March 1, 2007, taking in a modest $2,223,293 overall. Roger Ebert attributes its poor US box office performance to the film “getting lost in the Christmas rush.”
Critical response
As of January 2021, on Rotten Tomatoes, the film had a 59% approval rating based on 129 reviews with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website’s critics consensus reads: “Perfume is what you’d expect from a Tom Twyker-directed movie glamorizing a serial killer: a kinetic visual feast, with a dark antihero that’s impossible to feel sympathy for.” On Metacritic, the film had a weighted average score of 56 out of 100 based on reviews from 30 critics, indicating “mixed or average reviews”.
The Hollywood Reporter’s Bernard Besserglik described the film as a “visually lush, fast-moving story”, stating that the director “has a sure sense of spectacle and, despite its faults, the movie maintains its queasy grip”. Dan Jolin of Empire gave the film four out of five stars and said “The odd conclusion renders it somewhat oblique, but Perfume is a feast for the senses. Smell it with your eyes…” A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film a negative review, saying “Try as it might to be refined and provocative, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer never rises above the pedestrian creepiness of its conceit.” Scott also said that Whishaw “does not quite manage to make Grenouille either a victim worthy of pity or a fascinating monster. In the film he comes across as dull, dour and repellent.”
