Jasmine, the jewel of Grasse, where it is simply called "the flower", comes from India, which along with Egypt is its leading global supplier. The small, white flowers with a delicate appearance, but a strong scent, provide an absolute of floral, warm, intoxicating, creamy and slightly animalistic aspects. Jasmine embodies refined, seductive sensuality and is irreplaceable in grand, classic floral compositions.
Discover all the faces of this delicate flower through a journey through botany, gastronomy, history, agriculture and chemistry, not forgetting perfumes and those who create them.

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.
