Nez Issue 07, The Animal Sense, explores the remarkable connections between human olfaction and the animal kingdom. This Spring/Summer 2019 edition examines how animals rely on scent to communicate, navigate their surroundings, recognize one another, and respond to danger. While humans have often considered smell a primitive sense, modern research reveals that our olfactory abilities are far more sophisticated than previously believed, challenging familiar assumptions about the relationship between instinct and perception.
Through perspectives drawn from biology, history, culture, and perfumery, The Animal Sense also explores the fascinating history of animal-derived fragrance materials and the evolution of animalic accords in modern perfume compositions. From traditional musk and civet to contemporary recreations of sensual animalic notes, readers discover how the natural world continues to inspire perfumers. Beautifully illustrated and filled with engaging insights, this edition offers a compelling exploration of the powerful relationship between scent, nature, and human behavior.

Gourmand fragrances are inspired by delicious, dessert-like notes and the comforting warmth of familiar indulgences. They often blend vanilla, fruit, spice, caramel, chocolate, nuts, or creamy accords into scents that feel cozy, playful, decadent, or elegant. Sweet without always being simple, the best gourmands feel memorable, refined, and hard to resist.
