Summary
Having been blessed with an incredible sense of smell, Marion is summoned to make perfume for the royal court until she discovers that the marquise has suspicious motives behind his actions that could lead to disaster for France$s beloved monarch.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: When Marion Dutilleul enters the service of the Marquise de Montespan, she never imagines that her ability to recognize scents and to blend them into perfumes will win her the favor of Louis XIVâs mistress. But the marquise quickly has the young girl creating new perfumes for her. Eager to please and hopeful that her olfactory gifts will win her recognition, Marion concocts memorable fragrances. Then, to her horror, credit is bestowed on someone else. Marion feels betrayed.
Now Marion opens her eyes and ears (in addition to her nose!) and realizes that beneath the splendor of palace life is a place teeming with deceit. To survive, she must use her keen sense of smell not to create perfumes, but to thwart those who would do herâand one of Franceâs beloved monarchsâgreat harm.
From the Hardcover edition.
