Jitterbug Perfume is an epic. Which is to say, it begins in the forests of ancient Bohemia and doesn't conclude until nine o'clock tonight (Paris time).
It is a saga, as well. A saga must have a hero and the hero of this one is a janitor with a missing bottle.
The bottle is blue, very, very old and embossed with the image of a goat-horned god.
If this liquid in the bottle actually is the secret essence of the universe, as some folks seem to think, it had better be discovered soon because it is leaking and there is onluy a drop or two left.
