Ophelia de la Rosa, a declining aristocratic girl, has an extraordinary talent. She can use her sense of smell as a key to open dust-covered memories and extract emotional fragrance. When the powerful Duchess died suddenly and mysteriously, leaving a strange aftertaste of "ambergris" and "bitter almond" on her clothes, she was drawn into a fatal whirlpool. In the Plantagenet Capital, which is filled with expensive spices and conspiracy poisonous fog, she must join forces with Lorenzo Vivaldi, a rigorous professor of pharmacy, to peel off the cocoons from the exquisite fragrance craftsmanship and molecular mysteries, and fight against the deadly fragrance technique that confuses the senses. This is not only a suspenseful journey of wits against the murderer, but also the beginning of the collision and symbiosis between traditional skills and emerging science. A young perfumer, using the tip of her nose as a front, knocks on the door of truth between fragrance and decay.
