Two more ingredient-focused special issues of Nez: Blackcurrant Bud in Perfumery and Geranium In Perfumery. 96 pages for $25 each, at Luckyscent, where you'll also find lots of back issues (both the numbered issues, and special issues on Orris, Sandalwood, Orange Blossom, Vetiver, Patchouli, Jasmine, Rose and Narcissus).

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).
