Colorful fields of roses, a secret archive of scents, mysterious deaths... It's mid-May in Provence. Pierre Durand is enjoying life with Charlotte, but when her childhood friend Anouk shows up, the idyll is shattered. The rose breeder is suspected of murder – her neighbor was found dead in his scent archive, and valuable documents are missing. Charlotte is convinced of her friend's innocence. The evidence is far from clear, and so Pierre sets out to uncover the truth. His investigation takes him from Grasse to the Mediterranean, where three weeks earlier, a perfumer had also died under suspicious circumstances.
