Description This 14th issue of Nez the Olfactory Magazine examines the realms of music and perfume and have long corresponded and echoed each other. How are these two immaterial modes of expression related? Nez takes you on an olfactory journey around the world through the prism of history, anthropology, science, art, literature, trade and marketing. The final destination? A greater understanding of the power that the sense of smell has in our lives.

Nez is an invitation to explore the world through our olfactory sensations, adopting a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses art, literature, photography, science, history, gastronomy and, of course, perfumery, providing its readers with a better understanding of the essential role the sense of smell plays in our lives.

Avery Y. ★★★★★

The music-and-perfume theme in this issue is such a clever pairing—the essays trace the parallels in a way I haven't seen done before. The Fall/Winter 2023 edition feels timely and the English translation reads smoothly.

Joseph Z. ★★★★★

The cover artwork alone is worth the price, and the way they contrast musical composition with perfume structure finally made sense to me. It's a dense read, so I'm pacing myself through it, but every article leaves me thinking about scent in a new way.

George H. ★★★★★

The way this issue ties musical composition to perfume notes is genuinely thought-provoking, not just a gimmick. I've spent hours with the interviews and the Fall/Winter 2023 editorial spreads, and the English translation reads beautifully.
