Nez Issue 10, From the Nose to the Mouth, explores the remarkable relationship between two of our most interconnected senses: smell and taste. This Autumn/Winter 2020 edition examines how our sense of smell influences the flavors we experience, from the aromas of everyday foods to the complex sensory pleasures of fine dining. Through perspectives drawn from science, gastronomy, history, and perfumery, readers discover how taste and smell work together, why certain aromas stimulate our appetites, and how fragrance and food share a common language of ingredients and sensory experiences.
Bringing together insights from flavor creation, culinary traditions, and fragrance composition, From the Nose to the Mouth also explores the development of food flavorings and the growing fascination with gourmand notes in perfumery. Beautifully illustrated and filled with thought-provoking explorations, this edition invites readers to discover the fascinating connections between the fragrances we wear, the foods we enjoy, and the extraordinary role of smell in everyday life.

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.
