Issue 8 of Nez is out: "Dior Addict, Opium, Obsession... The allusions to illicit products and the conversation of addiction have long accompanied the creation of perfume. But can the latter really induce habituation? Because if perfume and smoke are originally linked, it is the invention of ethanol production processes that drove the development of the sector. [...] Tobacco, alcohol, hard and soft drugs: how does our sense of smell link to addictive substances?" There's also an interview with Serge Lutens and a conversation with Luca Turin. $29 at Luckyscent, or pay $60 and get a 15 ml bottle of Hongkong Oolong ("A smoky, spicy, milky, leathery tea fragrance" by Maurice Roucel).
