Montpellier, 1748: Jean-Louis Fargeon is born into a family of perfumers and soon becomes apprenticed to his father's modest perfumerie. But he dreams of becoming perfumer to the young queen, Marie Antoinette. His ambition would carry him to Paris where his boutique became one of the most elegant and well-patronised in France.
