He learns about enfleurage, a method of extracting fragrance from fat. However, this turns out to be a tactic that leads to Grenouille getting his desired freedom at work. He is hired to assist the journeyman Dominique Druot, to whom he appears to be subordinate. In order to broaden his knowledge, Grenouille asks for a job in a perfumery workshop owned by the widow Madame Anulfie. He decides that the girl will need another year or two before her smell «reaches its peak» and that he will wait until then. Her scent gave Grenouille the idea of creating a master perfume. As before in Paris, he pursues the trail of a beautiful girl whose scent, in his opinion, has not yet matured. Grenouille also explores Grasse through the smells of the city. The third part is dedicated to his life’s work of making the best perfume in the world.
