Bol A painting that should not exist. A perfume made from love and blood. A secret buried for more than a hundred years.London restorer Isabella Ward knows how to read old paint, the way cracks and varnish give a picture's history away. Then a crate arrives in the basement of her Mayfair gallery, addressed to her by name, with no sender. Inside is the portrait of a young woman in a wine-red gown who vanished from a Tuscan villa in 1913. Beneath a veil of red glaze at her throat, Isabella uncovers a message written in gold: For E., who still breathes.Leonardo Moretti is a charming Florentine perfumer, and his family has searched for the painting for a century. He invites Isabella to Villa Moretti, a house of cypresses, vineyards and locked rooms, where the air still smells of Il Cremisi. His great-grandfather created that perfume for the woman in the portrait, and never finished it.Among intercepted love letters, a hidden diary and a room sealed since the night of the harvest feast, Isabella falls under the spell of the house and of the man who opened its doors to her. But lavender sprigs bound with crimson thread keep appearing where they shouldn't. Someone has been watching her for months. And the perfume that shows her the past may hide the most dangerous secret of all: why she was the one chosen to find it.From London to Florence, from the salons of Paris to the salt marshes of the Camargue, The Scent of Crimson is a sensual and haunting story of obsession, memory and inheritance. It is about a love that turns into a prison, and about the courage it takes to open the window and breathe again.Some scents fade. Some remember everything.
