The film version of Patrick Suskind's Perfume opens today in Germany. See early reviews in This Is London and DW-World. It will open in the US in December.
Update: more reviews, in The Guardian and SpiegelOnline (link no longer active).
Thierry Mugler will launch a limited edition set of fragrances in conjunction with the upcoming film version of Patrick Suskind's Perfume. Le Parfum...
...comprises a box of 14 olfactive components (7.5ml phials) together with a 15ml bottle of a scent called Aura. This is to be used as the base scent to which the consumer can add the various components. Mugler worked with IFF [International Flavors & Fragrances] to create the set.
Look for Le Parfum in September; 1300 sets will be sold at €500 each. (via cosmeticsint)
The movie version of Perfume: The Story of a Murderer now has its own website, complete with a picture gallery, links to the trailer, and a synopsis of the story. Per Horror Channel, where I found the link, the movie is to debut on December 8.
Will we get a tie-in perfume, as we did with Memoirs of a Geisha?
Earlier this year I linked to a brief trailer of the movie version of Patrick Suskind's Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, directed by Tom Tykwer and starring Dustin Hoffman, Ben Wishaw, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Alan Rickman. Here is a longer trailer, in German, and perhaps even creepier than the first despite the fact that I don't understand a single word. According to Cinematical, where I found the link, it is due for release in Germany in September; the US in December.
