Perfume is a thrilling German television series produced by XiveTV, first released in 2018. It is based on the novel of the same name by Patrick Süskind, which was also adapted for film in 2006. The show explores dark themes of obsession, identity, and morality against the backdrop of the perfume industry.

The plot follows the story of five women who become embroiled in a murder mystery. The central character is a perfumer named Grenouille, who has an acute sense of smell and is on a quest to create the perfect scent. Along the way, he becomes a suspect in a series of brutal murders that have been committed in the city. The women in the show share a connection to Grenouille, and they must confront their past and present traumas as they try to solve the mystery and catch the killer.

One of the standout aspects of Perfume is the strong character development. Each of the five women has a unique and complex backstory that is gradually revealed over the course of the series. As they work together to solve the crimes, they must confront their own demons and navigate their relationships with each other. The character of Grenouille is also intriguing, as he is a deeply flawed antihero who is both sympathetic and frightening.

The setting of the show is also notable. Much of the action takes place in the picturesque city of Grasse, France, which is known for its history in the perfume industry. The show explores the intricacies of scent creation and the artistry that goes into making a great fragrance. There is also a contrast between the beauty of the city and the darkness of the crimes being committed, which adds to the tension and intrigue.

Another strength of the show is its visual style. The cinematography is bold and striking, with moody lighting and vibrant colors. The music is also atmospheric, with a haunting soundtrack that adds to the overall mood of the show.

Overall, Perfume is a captivating and complex series that is well worth watching. It combines elements of mystery, drama, and horror to create a unique and gripping narrative. The strong character development, intriguing plot, and beautiful visuals make it a standout in the world of television.
