  • Eugène Chevreul and the Perception of Color

    Couleurs by Le Nez Insurgé is much more than a simple perfume collection. It’s an innovative approach that seeks to represent each color with a distinctive scent. With five colors and five fragrances, this revolutionary line awakens the senses in a way you’ve never imagined before

    An Olfactory Exploration of Chromatic Shades

    It was through everyday experiences in the Le Nez Insurgé shop and during olfactory workshops that Dorothée Duret made a fascinating discovery: our sense of smell engages synesthesia, a neurological phenomenon where multiple senses become durably linked. Over the course of the “awakening to olfaction” workshops, it became clear that most of us can 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 places craftsmanship at the heart of art, finds unexpected echoes in the world of perfumery.
