The Nose

A premier Nose, a French perfumery titan, and a handsome bachelor in his forty years, Mantel Lamarck is dreadfully afraid of women, fortune-hunters. He's smart, successful, and inevitably does not need business shares or compromises. Able to identify 800 different perfumes from a single squirt, Mantel does not smell fragrances with his nose: he does it with his brain. After serving in the perfumery industry for twenty years and having saved millions to spare, Mantel Lamarck finally acquires a meaning in his life and tranquility following his biggest compromise -- a merger of the traditional art of modeling fragrances with the quartz-resonator sensor array (QRSA) of an 'artificial nose.' In order to find out who is the person behind the merger, and who helped Mantel find a meaning in his vigilant life, take a tour of this suspense novel. By depicting the French and Italian wildflowers/fragrances and by touching the opulent lifestyle of the riches with its epic and ambitious plot, this novel offers you an elating read.
