    Additional information

    Since its creation in 2016, Nez, the olfactory cultural movement, has established itself as a major reference in perfume and olfaction, both in France and internationally.

    Founded by Jeanne Doré, Mathieu Chévara and Dominique Brunel, it brings together a multidisciplinary collective of experts – journalists, scientists, perfumers, historians and artists – with a clear ambition: to make olfactory culture accessible and reveal the richness of a sense that has long been underestimated.

    As both an active participant in the perfume industry and a gateway to the general public, Nez now unites an extensive network bringing together manufacturers, institutions, events, brands and enthusiasts.

    One scent, and a whole memory resurfaces.
    Nez 20, the magazine that tells the story of perfume differently.

    Originally designed to warn us, the sense of smell has become more refined over time, developing into a sense capable of triggering images, unlocking memories, and stimulating imagination. This issue starts with a simple yet profound idea: smelling is no longer just recognizing; it's narrating.

    Resurfacing memories, inner landscapes, instant emotions—this issue explores how a scent constructs a true intimate scene, made of representations and sensations, far beyond the notes that compose it.

    It's not a perfume you smell a second time, but a story you re-enact—each scent becomes a narrative that already belongs to us.
