Twenty years ago, a man added what he thought was a harmless ingredient to a bottle of his wife’s perfume. Thinking the fragrance ruined, the man’s wife put it away and forgot about it. Years later, she rediscovers the perfume and thinking Susan, her college attending daughter would enjoy using it, sends it to her. Her daughter does use it and along with others is amazed at the unexpected and unique results. The mysterious scent promotes an emotional reaction in men unlike any anticipated or envisioned. Professor Gertrude Lehman, an Internationally renowned chemist at Susan’s college, unravels the chemical formula that makes the perfume irresistible. As word spreads, advertisers set out to obtain the “magic” perfume, but Professor Lehman keeps the formula closely guarded. Meanwhile, Lydia Cornell, a beautiful advertising executive, wants control of the perfume certain it will be her key to power and financial success. Driven by their ambitions and conflicting agendas, Lehman and Cornell clash, and their struggle for control of the perfume’s secret ingredient and power endangers those they know and love.
