Description
Geranium in perfumery
Geraniums originating from the Republic of South Africa, which decorate our balconies, are not known for their scent. But the leaves of the scented geranium, once grown on the island of Reunion and now mainly in Egypt, contain an essence with many olfactory and medicinal properties. Its rose, mint, and lemon notes are widely used in perfumery. Discover the various facets of this resilient yet elegant plant - from the perspectives of many fields: botany, history, art, aromatherapy, chemistry, and agriculture. Of course, we cannot forget about perfumes based on geraniums and their creators.

About the brand Nez Éditions
Internet reviews of perfumes have revolutionized the industry — it turns out that in addition to literary, film, and music criticism, there is also a place for perfume criticism. NEZ is the first print publication that presents this field of criticism (which can be very sharp here!). Combining articles, interviews, surveys, and analyses related to scent, this unique publication helps us understand how the sense of smell connects us to the world.
In a very diverse group of NEZ writers, there are not only industry enthusiasts, but also scientists, writers, academics, economists, historians, photographers, and all kinds of artists.
