Be ready to share out!

From the video clip “A Code in the Nose” Johna Moore tried to identify and explain how chemists are able to identify chemicals in a compound through only their sense of smell.

Explain how this same phenomenon is used by Suskind in the novel to portray and explain for the reader Grenouille’s uncanny sense of smell when first tested by Baldini to reproduce a fragrance.

Quick Write: Describe how Turin’s theory is used by Suskind to create a plausible theory for the reader of how Grenouille’s character could be able to create new scents that even a master perfumer could not, given he has no real science background or perfumer training or knowledge.
