Nez culture, edited by Jeanne Doré Release date: October 30, 2025 – 164 pages – EAN: 9782491567897 By the Nez en Herbe association Prefaces by Chantal Jaquet and Annick Le Guérer How to discover and harness the powers of your nose? The sense of smell plays an essential role in all of our lives. Cultivated from a young age, it promotes cognitive learning by developing attention and memory, encourages healthier eating and contributes to well-being. However, olfactory education is largely absent from school curricula, whereas, in an increasingly virtual society where screens monopolize us and cut us off from our environment, having a nose allows us to enrich our relationship with the world and fully develop our humanity. This is the whole point of this book, born from a collaboration with the Nez en herbe association which promotes olfactory awareness from nursery to university. Scientists, doctors, perfumers, artists and even education professionals combine their expertise in this pioneering work, designed to appeal to everyone: teachers, parents and the simply curious. Practical activity sheets, insights and concrete personal experiences will help you understand and share all the benefits of this neglected sense.
