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.
