The Perfumer's Secret

The sensory details around scent felt so vivid — I wonder if that was based on personal research or a love for fragrance. How did that influence the story's emotional depth?

While I appreciated the rich detail, at times it felt like the story paused. Was that intentional to build atmosphere or a challenge of balancing plot and setting?

The revelations kept me hooked, but I’m curious whether the structure was planned for maximum suspense or evolved during writing.
