16

Fujita asks Sarah to collect an outstanding debt from actress Akiyoshi Masako who is about to star as Yang Guifei in her next play. She visits perfumer Jean-Paul Koumoto seeking more body fragrance pills and incense to infuse her clothing. The legendary Imperial Consort Yang Guifei was said to emit an extraordinary pleasant scent from her body. Sara listens outside and is discovered by Koumoto because of her body scent and he asks her to wear his fragrance. Meanwhile, Akiyoshi offers Fujita a valuable incense burner she stole from Koumoto for the painting but he refuses. She then pushes his hand to crush the incense burner and then forces him to repair it. Koumoto creates a fragrance pill for Sara which is incredibly effective. Koumoto discovers the theft, and retrieves his incense burner from Fujita. However, when Koumoto drugs Sara to make love to her, the incense burner emits the smell of wasabi implanted by Fujita, killing his passion. As Sara escapes, she meets Akiyoshi who is planning to kill her, but is instead entranced by her body fragrance and then uses Sara for inspiration in her role as Yang Guifei. (Source: Wikipedia)
