A DOCUMENTARY FILM

BY CLÉMENT BEAUVAIS AND ARTHUR DE KERSAUSON

« THIS DOCUMENTARY FILM UNVEILS THE FASCINATING ROLE OF THE NOSE, A MYSTERIOUS CRAFT BEHIND AN OBJECT THAT ALL KNOW BUT VERY FEW UNDERSTAND. »

 

For the first time in a documentary feature, the prestigious House of Dior opened its doors to show the wonders of perfume creation.
Travelers at heart, Arthur de Kersauson and Clément Beauvais followed François Demachy for two years and over 14 countries, from Grasse to the other side of the world, in his search for inspiration and the most precious raw materials.
A true « smell good movie », NOSE sheds light on one of the most secret jobs in the world.

 

FRANÇOIS DEMACHY

A GLOBAL EXPLORER

From the may roses of Grasse to Calabrian bergamot, Indonesian patchouli and Sri Lankan sandalwood, NOSE is an incredible journey, during which we discover the protected small industries and the unique regions that continue to live on, thanks to the support of a house that wants to give its perfumes the finest raw materials.
Along the way, we cross paths with those who cultivate these natural wonders, helping precious craftsmanship and traditional expertise endure, and we witness firsthand the capital importance of the human bonds that are forged over a shared desire to bring beauty to life in a scent.
