SOLVED. About a serial killer who lives in a cave and makes perfume. Spoiler ahead. [s]

This book was probably written somewhere in the nineties or before that. Also it was translated into Russian if that helps narrow it down. Basically the book is about a man who kills women with long hair and he lives in a cave and makes perfume which as I recall smells really bad. At the end I believe he dies, maybe in a cave-in. That's all I can recall. Thank you.

Yes it is. Thank you.
