Does it smell good, or does it stink? Between the smells that charm and the fragrances that disturb us, how does our nose understand vice and virtue? Issue Nineteen of NEZ dives into the often misunderstood (but sometimes stinky!) world of the smells that delight, divide, or dismay us- and all the reasons why- from evolution to culture, and more. NEZ invites us to explore the world via our sense of smell, adopting a novel approach that encompasses art, literature, photography, science, history, gastronomy and perfumery to illustrate the essential role that olfaction plays in our lives.
