Format:Audio CD
The best score to a film I have heard in a long time. This is music you can lose yourself in and it works beautifully even when divorced from the sometimes terrific imagery of the movie. My only query is why the US version of the CD has two more tracks and therefore 8 and a half minutes of extra music compared with the UK release. If you've got the choice go for the stateside release
Format:Audio CD
This is what a soundtrack should be. Beautiful to be aware of it all the way through the film; Sometimes behind the action at other times at the forefront. Listen to the music seperately then you will see the images of this film. I have heard this also as background music for other tv show. Everytime it feels fresh. Almost like the image the perfume creates in the film this music takes you places.
Wonderful. Should've had rewards.

I watched this film a couple of years ago now and would rate it as 6 or 7 out of 10.
The soundtrack on the other hand is a solid 10 out of 10. Yes, there are a few pieces that don't really do it for me however for the following tracks only it is worth getting the whole album and listen to the whole album all the way through:
1. Prologue - The Highest Point
2. Streets of Paris
3. The Girl with the Plums
9. Meeting Laura
15. The Perfume
16. The Crowd Embrace
OK these are just 6 tracks on a 19-track album so why the 5 star rating? It's not that the other 13 tracks aren't good - at least half of them would probably be standout tracks on most other soundtrack albums featuring full orchestra and choir. That's the strength of the 6 tracks I've listed above.
The swirling uplifting themes are like a deep inhalation of your favourtite scent, a reminder of the person and place you love most in this world, they lift you up, transport you and fill you with such a deep sense of longing, need and desire.
The tone and colour of this music goes superbly well with the cinematography; deep and warm, dark and sinister, bright and innocent.
Buy these 6 tracks and it will give you the main themes at their best, but there's enough interest in the variations of these themes found on the other tracks that it's well worth buying it in it's entirity.
I will never tire of this music.

Amazing, Beautiful & Haunting.
This, in my opinion, contributes a lot to an already amazingly good film.

Haunting and memorable
"Perfume" was, for me, one of the greatest movies of the last few years. I can't remember the last time I saw anything so stirring, poetic, and visually stunning. Read more
