SANDALWOOD IN PERFUMERY
The scent of humanity
The sandalwood, known for 3,000 years, is now a rare species of tree. It mainly grows in Australia and New Caledonia, where it is cultivated according to the principles of sustainable development. Its wood is one of the most valuable in the world, and the warm, creamy, milky-woody scent of its essence makes it one of the most expensive ingredients in the perfume industry. Embark on a journey through the Pacific to learn more about this extraordinary wood in the context of botany, history, literature, agriculture, chemistry, and of course, perfume.

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.
