10 | From the Nose to the Mouth

Our palate has a nose. How does taste work and what does it have in common with smell? How are food flavors created? What about fragrances with foody notes? Can odors influence our eating habits?

Nez Issue 10 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.

Nez Issue 10 is paired with the gorgeous perfume, Ambre à Lèvres, a collaboration between the brilliant French perfumer Mathilde Bijaoui and the renown Iranian artist and filmmaker, Marjane Satrapi (creator of the Persepolis graphic novels and film). A most perfect tribute to vintage lipstick, achieved with iris, violet and helliotrope, floating on the softest cloud of amber, tonka and musk. Read about this inspiring collaboration while immersed in the waft of Ambre à Lèvres on your skin.

Notes: iris, rose, violet, heliotrope, vanilla, benzoin, tonka bean, suede and musk.

The Nez 10 magazine, Ambre à Lèvres perfume and samples are also sold separately.
