==Storyline==
Dennis Feinstein was born to be smelled. At the early age of 10, Feinstein began his journey of perfumery, mixing together his mother's perfumes with things he found intoxicating around the house, trying to create the ultimate scent. His mother, Carmela, wanted only the best for her son and proudly wore his first perfume: "Toxic." Carmela's disappearance a week later is what crystallized Feinstein's life's mission in perfume, he says:
