NEZ Issue Seventeen

The photography and layout alone make this issue worth picking up, but the curated deep dives into niche perfume culture really set it apart. I've already flipped through it twice and keep noticing new details in the featured houses' stories.

The interviews with perfumers are the standout part—I found myself reading whole sections aloud to my partner. It’s the kind of magazine you keep on the coffee table for weeks, not because it’s pretty, but because every page makes you think about scent differently.

The perfume profiles are thoughtfully chosen and the writing has that insider vibe without feeling pretentious. I’ve already dog-eared three pages for scents I want to hunt down next.
