Die Essenz der Liebe

The structure kept me guessing and added layers to the mystery. I'm curious whether this was planned from the start or developed during writing.

The descriptions made France feel so vivid, but I wonder if the setting was as central as the characters' journeys or more of a backdrop.

The perfume descriptions added such richness to the story, and I’d love to know if they were inspired by real scents or created for the narrative.
