A Whiff of Desire

Gabriel never set out to change the world. He just wanted a date. Armed with an exceptional nose and a stubborn dream, the young perfumer spends years searching for the ultimate scent — one that makes men irresistible to women. When he finally perfects his formula, Cupid, the results are beyond anything he imagined.

Women swoon. Shy men become irresistible. Even lifelong singles are suddenly tying the knot. But there’s a side effect no one expected: Cupid doesn’t just spark attraction — it inspires honesty. Painfully, embarrassingly honest confessions.

As the fragrance takes the world by storm, Gabriel becomes both a celebrity and a target. Governments grow uneasy when diplomats start spilling secrets over dinner. Corporations accuse him of manipulating human emotions. And when a powerful black market emerges selling the “original formula,” Gabriel finds himself under investigation — suspected of being behind the illicit trade of his own creation.

Caught between ethics, desire, and suspicion, Gabriel must face the biggest question of all: can love still be genuine if it starts with chemistry?

A witty and provocative romantic satire, A Whiff of Desire explores the intoxicating border between science and seduction. Blending humor, heart, and a hint of moral mischief, it’s a modern fable about invention, temptation, and the unpredictable alchemy of attraction.

Fans of Jonas Jonasson, Graeme Simsion, and Nick Hornby will delight in this clever, fast-paced story of a man who bottled desire — and learned that every scent of success comes with a whiff of trouble.
