The Scent

S1, E3: US journalist Rossi returns to question Paul’s former boss and mentor Lemaire, who may choose to expose Paul’s wartime secrets rather than his own. In neutralizing both men, Paul is forced to punish those he loves, exposing a crack in his marriage. Meanwhile shopgirl Charlotte is making herself Paul’s best asset. Hoping to see her son, Nina returns to the convent where she gave birth and is told he’s already been adopted by an affluent couple. Devastated, and with nothing to lose, Nina decides it’s time to reinvent herself and change her powerless situation if she has any hope of getting her baby back. Under pressure to create the Spring Collection, the maison is a hive of activity, yet Claude is still not working. Paul sends Claude out to the country cottage with Yvette, and there he finds an unlikely new muse, and creates stunning new designs. But at the same time the sailor’s dead body is discovered – some secrets won’t stay buried forever.
