A young French perfumer. A world at war. A personal vengeance that could destroy a family.

**From a USA Today bestselling author.**

Europe, 1939: At the dawn of World War II, French perfumer Danielle Bretancourt and her German husband strive to ensure their family's safety, yet neither of them can foresee the ultimate cost. From London to Paris and Germany, Danielle struggles to find her missing child and aid the Resistance, even as she grieves her losses.

As the war intensifies, Danielle is forced to seek refuge in America to save the lives of her remaining family. She draws on her skills as a talented perfumer to life her family out of crushing poverty. Yet even as she forges a new life among the Hollywood elite, she cannot forget her lost child nor the man who risked everything for her. Set between privileged lifestyles and gritty realities, The Perfumer is one woman's story of courage, spirit, and resilience.

Originally published by St. Martin's Press and in audio as Scent of Triumph, this beloved, bestselling saga has returned. Also by Jan Moran: The Chocolatier, The Winemakers, and Hepburn's Necklace.
