Scent of a Woman (Italian: Profumo di donna) is a 1974 Commedia all'italiana film directed by Dino Risi, based on Il buio e il miele, a story by Giovanni Arpino.

Both Risi and the leading actor Vittorio Gassman won important Italian and French awards.

A blind Italian Captain (Fausto Consolo), accompanied by his aide Ciccio (Giovanni Bertazzi), who has been assigned to him by the army, is on his way from Turin to Naples to meet with an old comrade.

Unsatisfied with the boy's descriptions, he uses his nose instead, claiming that he can smell a beautiful woman.

The suicide pact is thwarted once Sara enters the picture, and the boy Ciccio does some much-needed growing up.
