Jean-Baptiste Grenouille

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille:
I am a scentless apprentice.
I don't smell like butter; my smell is like no other.
Electrolytes smell like semen.
I lie in the soil and fertilize mushrooms.



Open letter to the Scentless Apprentice:
I am the Plum Girl.
My sweat smells as fresh as the sea breeze.
The tallow of my hair smell as sweet as nut oil.
My genitals are as fragrant as a bouquet of waterlilies.
My skin smells like apricot blossoms.
I am the higher principle: The pattern by which others must be ordered.
Your life would have no meaning unless you possessed me.
