Les Parfums

The story of a friendship between a selfish fragrance designer who is one of the best in her field, and her chauffeur who needs to cling to his job so that he can live with his daughter. There are no surprises or twists in the film, and everything falls into place where you expect it to. Even so, the chemistry between the two lead actors is so great that these cliches seem acceptable. A refreshing French comedy with a few laughs.

Les Parfums (2019) is a charming French dramedy that follows the intriguing world of Anne Walberg (Emmanuelle Devos), a talented but prickly perfumer, and her unlikely bond with her troubled driver, Guillaume Favre (Grégory Montel). Director Grégory Magne skillfully tells a story full of humor, intelligence, and subtle character growth.

Devos shines as the moody Anne, who has lost her reputation in the perfume business because of her hard-to-please attitude. Montel, as Guillaume, plays the role of a single dad trying to reconnect with his distant daughter. Together, they become an odd couple, helping each other to restore Anne's career and Guillaume's family life.

The cinematography is gorgeous, showing the scenic countryside of France and the intricate craft of perfume making. The film's music also enhances the story's emotional richness and the characters' personal transformation.

Les Parfums (2019) is not only a revealing look into the perfume industry but also a touching tale of two imperfect individuals finding comfort and healing in each other's presence. While the film's pace may seem slow at times, it allows for a deeper appreciation of the characters and their individual journeys.

Overall, Les Parfums (2019) is a well-made movie that will enchant audiences with its witty humor, captivating plot, and the irresistible chemistry between Devos and Montel. It's a sensory experience that will stay with you long after the movie ends.

A very interesting film because it treats in a unique way the creation of a soul connection between the 2 main characters, the perfumer and the driver. I found out totally new and unusual things for a movie about the world of smells. A human film, full of emotions, feelings, a film in which nothing false, nothing exaggerated intervenes. The actors play excellently and the action is very well developed throughout the film so that you don't get bored for a moment

In French with subtitles.

Lovely film about a famous French "nose" (Emmanuelle Devos) who can discern a huge variety of smells, making her perfect in the perfume industry.

She hires a driver, Guillaume (Gregory Montel) who is trying to improve his living situation so he can have his young daughter with him. He is desperate to keep his job, but Anne's demands rub him the wrong way. However, he is able to stand up to her, which not many do. The two develop a close bond.

When she loses her sense of smell, Guillaume is there for her during her struggle to regain it.

Very sweet film with excellent performances.
