  • Eugène Chevreul and the Perception of Colors

    Colors by Le Nez Insurgé is much more than a simple collection of perfumes. It is an innovative approach that aims to represent each color with a distinctive scent. With five colors and five perfumes, this groundbreaking line awakens the senses in a way you never imagined before

    An Olfactory Exploration of Chromatic Nuances

    It was through the everyday experiences in the Le Nez Insurgé boutique and during the olfactory workshops that Dorothée Duret made a fascinating discovery: our sense of smell calls on synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon in which several senses are linked in a lasting way. Over the course of the “awakening to olfaction” workshops, it became clear that most of us have the ability to describe scents using colors.

    A New Sensory Approach

    The inspiration behind this olfactory adventure dates back to the 19th century, thanks to the work of Eugène Chevreul, a chemist whose research revolutionized our understanding of color perception. His discoveries influenced renowned artists and craftsmen, such as those of the Art & Craft movement, founded by William Morris and John Ruskin. This philosophy, which puts craftsmanship at the heart of art, finds unexpected echoes in the world of perfumery.
