It's hard for you to identify with the scent of a "real man", "in all his power", "a confident hedonist" who "only listens to his fantasies" and "breaks free from any rules"? Then this book is for you.
After "The One Hundred and Eleven Perfumes You Must Smell Before You Die", the Nez collective takes on the bumpy road of perfumery: scents for men. Just like what you wear, your perfumes say a lot about you - about who you are or who you want to be. Unfortunately, unlike the rules of dressing, which are exhaustively described, designing your olfactory wardrobe is not easy.
Each of the men, real or fictional, from this imaginary list sums up their own olfactory universe and a series of perfumes that suit them. These symbolic male figures invite you to take a walk among scents: mainstream and niche, masculine, unisex, and even feminine, suitable for every budget, taste, and allowing for a certain boldness. This scent bible will help you find your next perfumes, discover completely new ones, or simply enrich your olfactory knowledge about the history of perfumes for men and their incredible diversity.

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.
