nose (perfumer)

A perfumer’s nose is the highly sensitive and trained sense of smell that enables them to identify, analyze, and balance complex fragrances. It involves a refined ability to detect subtle scent nuances and understand how different aroma components interact. Perfumers develop this skill through extensive practice and experience, allowing them to craft harmonious perfumes by blending various scent notes. Essentially, their nose functions as both a detective and an artist, interpreting a vast array of odors to create pleasing, innovative fragrances that evoke emotions and memories.
