Issue 01 - Top Notes

Nose is an independent print publication based in Naarm/Melbourne aimed at cultivating olfactive curiosity. This first edition of Nose invites readers to tune in — to smell more intentionally, more thoughtfully. It’s a gentle immersion into the vast world of scent: how it lingers in science and language, in memory, culture, and everyday life. Through essays, interviews, and visual work, we explore the overlooked sense of smell, hoping to spark curiosity and deepen your awareness. Let this be your top note.
