Nez Issue 11, Live & Let Die, explores the extraordinary relationship between our sense of smell and the cycle of life. This Spring/Summer 2021 edition examines how odors accompany us from our earliest experiences to the final stages of existence, influencing our emotions, memories, and understanding of the world. From the scents associated with childhood and personal milestones to the role of smell in survival and the natural processes of decay, readers discover the profound connections between olfaction, life, and mortality.
Through perspectives drawn from science, history, anthropology, literature, art, gastronomy, and perfumery, Live & Let Die invites readers to reconsider how fragrances and odors shape our experiences throughout life. Beautifully illustrated and filled with thought-provoking explorations, this edition also considers the changing life cycles of perfumes themselves, offering a fascinating perspective on the relationship between scent, memory, and the passage of time.

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.
