The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 2 August 2022 1 Comment

Issue 13 of Nez is out (160 pages, $29), as are two more ingredient issues, Cinnamon (not shown) and Immortelle: "Native to the Mediterranean Basin, immortelle is grown in the Balkans for perfumery. It owes its name to its tiny golden-yellow flowers, which never fade. Their dark, spicy, boozy scent conjures curry, sandy dunes or the Corsican maquis. Explore the many facets of this wildflower by journeying through botany, history, mixology, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfumes and perfumers." 96 pages, $25 at Luckyscent.

    Immortelle is tricky for me in perfume, but in the last year or so I’ve discovered two immortelle bushes in my neighborhood. I’m kind of obsessed with smelling them when they are “blooming” in the heat with sticky sap coming out. It was too hot to even walk around last week, but we’ll be getting some more bearable heat again this weekend so I’ll walk up to check out the bushes.
