The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 19 January 2022 5 Comments

Issue 12 of Nez is out: "The Twelfth Issue explores links between scent and design. 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." 160 pages, $29 at Luckyscent.

Issue 10 of Nez is out: "The tenth issue of Nez examines the affinities between our nose and our mouth, perfumery, and cuisine. 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." 160 pages, $29 at Luckyscent.

Issue 9 of Nez is out, and so is Vetiver in Perfumery: "Originating in India and cultivated principally in Haiti, vetiver is a topical grass whose tangled roots contain a fragrant essence that can be extracted via steam distillation. At once fresh, citrusy, vegetal, woody and smoky; vetiver’s essential oil is a perfume all on its own. Though once emblematic of classic masculine perfumery, vetiver has long-since become a staple of the perfumer’s palette and lent its characteristic aroma to countless compositions for both men and women." 96 pages, $25 at Luckyscent (and Issue 9 is $29 for 160 pages, plus they still have Issues 3-8 in stock).

Issue 8 of Nez is out: "Dior Addict, Opium, Obsession... The allusions to illicit products and the conversation of addiction have long accompanied the creation of perfume. But can the latter really induce habituation? Because if perfume and smoke are originally linked, it is the invention of ethanol production processes that drove the development of the sector. [...] Tobacco, alcohol, hard and soft drugs: how does our sense of smell link to addictive substances?" There's also an interview with Serge Lutens and a conversation with Luca Turin. $29 at Luckyscent, or pay $60 and get a 15 ml bottle of Hongkong Oolong ("A smoky, spicy, milky, leathery tea fragrance" by Maurice Roucel).
