Several scenes in the film portray exactly what Süskind wrote in the original novel, with exceptional accuracy and attention to details. In the following pages, the well done and accurate scenes will be presented alongside some that were omitted or altered for sake of filming. Some scenes have some minor details altered, some have a difficult time transferring what the novel conveys into a film production, and others still are omitted due to limitations or time. Of course some scenes needed to be omitted or altered before being taken to the big screen, or else the movie would be terribly long. The film is a faithful reproduction of the original Süskind tale, hitting the major plot points and scenes with near flawless accuracy. The novel was transformed into a motion picture in 2006 by director Tom Tykwer. The story follows Grenouille from birth through his efforts to perfect his perfume craft and to eventually reach his ultimate goal, to capture the scent of young women. The novel Perfume: the Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind tells the tale of the life, and death, of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille in 18th century France.
