Jean-Baptiste Grenoble manages to break into Antoine Richis' home and completes his collection with Laura. As he finishes perfecting his formula, just as he's caught. On the day of his execution, he uses his perfume on himself, to cause the entire towns population to go into a mass erotic orgy, allowing him in all the confusion to flee. He then empties the contents of his entire concoction all over himself and is ripped to shreds by a frenzied mob.
Continuity mistake: In the first scene in Giuseppe Baldini's perfume shop, his employee comes in and starts setting three candles in a candelabra. He sets them very straight and upright, however after we cut to Guiseppe asking if he knows of Amor et Psyche and back to the shot of the candelabra again, all three candles are wonky. This is more than simple gravity could have caused. (00:27:30)
Narrator: For the first time in his life, Grenouille realised that he had no smell of his own. He realised that all his life he had been a nobody to everyone. What he now felt was the fear of his own oblivion. It was as though he did not exist.
