When French perfumer Danielle Bretancourt steps aboard a
luxury ocean liner, leaving her son behind in Poland with
his grandmother, she has no idea that her life is about
to
change forever. The year is 1939, and the declaration of
war
on the European continent soon threatens her beloved
family,
scattered across many countries. Traveling through London
and Paris into occupied Poland, Danielle searches
desperately for her the remains of her family, relying on
the strength and support of Jonathan Newell-Grey, a young
captain. Finally, she is forced to gather the fragments
of
her impoverished family and flee to America. There she
vows
to begin life anew, in 1940s Los Angeles.
There, through determination and talent, she rises high
from
meager jobs in her quest for success as a perfumer and
fashion designer to Hollywood elite. Set between
privileged
lifestyles and gritty realities, Scent of Triumph
is one
woman’s story of courage, spirit, and resilience.
