«Parfums» is the essay by Philippe Claudel, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (216 pages, in French).
Philippe Claudel takes stock of the scents that move us and turns each olfactory evocation into a stop on a journey through a life. His delicate prose portrays nostalgia as something almost tangible: perfumes float, bring buried worlds to the surface, and stop time. Breathing in a scent allows one to become again what one once was.
The original work appeared in 2012; this edition dates from February 26, 2014. It received the Jean-Jacques Rousseau literary prize 2014.
For readers who want to read Philippe Claudel in his original language and enjoy evocative prose.
