Story

Smells, whether they are intimate or infinitely distant, are closely linked to our environment. What is the olfactory dimension of the space that surrounds us?

Nez proposes to discover the world through our olfactory sensations, with a multidisciplinary approach: art, literature, photography, science, history, gastronomy, perfumery... To understand the essential role of the sense of smell in our lives.
