• According to the official website, the film features 67 speaking roles, 5200 extras, and 102 sets. Behind the scenes, 520 technicians were employed.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): When Grenouille meets the perfumer, at his house/laboratory, he knows where all the substances are, although he has never been there before. He is able to do this due to his heightened sense of smell, he is able to work out where specific substances are by the scent they give off.
• The actual liquid of the "ultimate" perfume at the end is a mixture of coke thinned with a bit of water.
• When filming the scenes set in Paris, director Tom Tykwer was so meticulous about making sure the dirt looked right, that he was given the nickname 'Lord of the Dirt' by the crew.
