"IT wasn't long before he had become a specialist in the field of distillation. he discovered--and his nose was of more use in the discovery than Baldini's rules and regulations--that the heat of fire played a significant role in the quantity of the distillate. Every plant, flower, every sort of wood, and every oil-yielding seed demanded a special procedure" (Suskind 100)

His nose is a tool that allows him to have superpowers, and almost be omniscient. in every element of his life, it helps him. he can see all and adapt. this part stood out to me because i realized that the world of smell can hole no secrets to him yet he has no smell of himself. every second of the novel he dives deeper and deeper. he breaks all rules.

-is he smell itself?
-why did the author choose for him to have no smell.
