The classic musical is inspired by Miklós László's play Parfumerie, which also served as the inspiration for the films The Shop Around the Corner and You've Got Mail. The work tells the story of Amalia and Georg, a pair of perfume-shop coworkers engaged in a battle of wits who unknowingly become romantic pen pals.
