A mysterious inheritance sets Grace Munroe on a journey through the streets of Paris. A letter from a law firm informs her that she is the chief beneficiary in the will of Eva D'Orsey, a woman she has never heard of. As Grace delves into the story of her benefactor, she uncovers a seductive world of perfumers and their muses. The abandoned perfume shop on the Left Bank becomes a key to unraveling the heartbreaking tale of Eva D'Orsey's life in 1920s New York and Paris. A secret history of scent, memory and desire unfolds, leading Grace through the winding streets of the City of Light. Through her investigation, Grace discovers a complex and alluring woman who bewitched high society, leaving behind a legacy of perfume and mystery.
