The Patchouli Mouse is a German silent film fun play from 1918 by Franz Hofer .
action
Lola Grison is a lovely young lady who makes a living as a saleswoman in a perfumery. Everyone is in love with her, the (male) customers who spend huge amounts of money on perfumes of all kinds because Lola smells irresistibly of patchouli , as is the apprentice boy. But this does not suit her boss, Mr. Veilchenström, because he himself cannot end up with her. And then the young lady dares to reject his marriage proposal! In the end, Veilchenström dismisses Lola, although he knows that as a result, far fewer customers will buy from him from now on. The girl then looks for a new position, which she promptly finds as a telephone operator.
There she gets into an argument with a certain Baron Herzer, because he feels badly connected by Miss Lola. She in turn feels offended by the noble snob, and so she drags him back and forth in court after a while. But shortly before the process begins, the two meet for the first time and immediately enjoy each other. It is only during the action that they realize that they are actually opponents of the litigation. The judge immediately realizes that the two opposing parties are by no means hostile to each other and leaves it to them to find an out-of-court settlement. The patchouli girl found the man of her dreams through a wrong phone connection.

criticism
“Lo Lolotte is the patchouli girl, almost fragrant in her play of signs, lovable in every way. Ewald Brückner gives Baron Hertzer with flying colors. The photography is excellent. Decorations and recordings are particularly beautiful. "
