Grace Monroe has reason to be happy with life. She's young, beautiful, and thanks to her recent marriage, she's thrust right into the center of London's glamorous social life. But doubt gnaws at the woman's heart. She feels like she doesn't live up to the expectations of successful 1950s socialites, and she's not sure she wants to. One evening, he receives a letter from France. The stranger Mrs. Eva d'Orsey has left him an unexpected inheritance. Grace sets out to track down an unknown benefactor. The story he discovers takes him to 1920s New York, Monte Carlo, Paris and London, and introduces him to an unusual woman who inspired one of Paris' most famous perfumers. Learning about Eva d'Orsey's life also changes Grace's own destiny, forcing her to choose between acting as others expect her to or showing her true self. "The Scent Collector" is a story about the addictive, complex love between a muse and an artist, and the enormous influence of memories and perfumes.
