Nez Kraft Gommé Review (Marie Salamagne) 2021 + 1+1 Draw

 Nez Kraft Gommé review

Have you ever been tempted to create your own perfume? Or to be the muse of a renowned perfumer who uses only notes you like and the memorabilia of your life  to create a fragrance that truly is you? This is the journey Woodkid (aka Yoann Lemoine), famous French director and musician experienced with Marie Salamagne, perfumer at Firmenich. The two artists collaborated to create Nez Kraft Gommé (Gummed Kraft Paper), the  newest addition to the 1+1 collection developed for French magazine Nez. The name itself is linked to Woodkid’s sensory memories of when he was as an art student. Nez Kraft Gommé is also a tribute to the brown paper with a sticky backing that is essential to painters.

Over the past two years, Nez (a magazine dedicated to every aspect if olfaction) has offered an original experience to its readers: each bi-annual issue is accompanied by an original limited edition 15 ml perfume under the brand 1+1. The concept is consistent, a classically trained perfumer and an artistic personality meet, (the former putting in fragrant notes with the artistic and emotional inspiration of the latter), in a collection developed under the direction of Jeanne Doré, Nez editor-in-chief.

1+1 Nez Kraft Gomme review

 First there was 1+1 Nez Hongkong Oolong, a Maurice Roucel / Alan Chan collaboration which was inspired by an incredibly beautiful semi-fermented oolong tea that the Hong Kong designer drinks daily. Then Folia by  Julien Rasquinet and artist Eva Jospin which used petrichor, undergrowth and mushrooms notes (the French artist is renowned for her cardboard sculptures representing forests). Last fall, Mathilde Bijaoui and Marjane Satrapi brought to life Ambre à Lèvres, which is dedicated to the director of Persepolis ‘childhood memories, particularly to the exceptional scent of vintage lipsticks.

Perfumer Marie Salamagne

 This month,  the newest  2021 edition has launched. Nez Kraft Gommé is a daring and conceptual fragrance; tests were organized at Firmenich, then by videoconference (Covid-19 restrictions were in place ) and finally at Woodkid’s home. Marie Salamagne first worked on three mods. The first two  were composed with bitumen, heat and fire, which directly related to  Woodkid’s recent album entitled S16 (symbol of sulfur in chemistry and a metaphor of the apocalyptic universe mixing men and machines). However it was the third mod   would lead to Nez Kraft Gommé.   The code name was “Glaise” (Clay) named by Marie Salamagne to covey a more personal direction, with notes of beeswax, myrrh and linseed oil which are associated with painting and sculpture workshops.  But to Woodkid’s nose it was the aromas of books, of the printing press, which brought him back to his art school years. With Woodkid’s imput it became obvious to Marie Salamagne that Nez Kraft Gommé should be a true Madeleine de Proust; a deeply personal kaleidoscopic olfactive memory.

New ingredients were added to “Glaise”: a fresh one with Cologne notes (Woodkid’s father olfactory identity), a tobacco one in memory of the famous cigarette breaks of his student years, and a mimosa one. There again, a choice had to be made and Woodkid was torn between the last two leads which brought totally opposite modulations, between dirty and dark notes and clean and bright ones. To complicate Marie Salamagne’s task (but bring a new personal touch to the perfume), Woodkid wanted to add tolu balm,  as hew extremely attached to this note present in one of his cosmetic products. Tolu balm evokes leather, roundness and sensuality (it can be found in Ambre Sultan, Cuir Ottoman, Youth Dew or Fracas). Finally, after 48 mods Kraft Gommé was born.

Nez Kraft Gommé is a surprising fragrance. Its opening reminds me of turpentine. I quickly perceive the notes of beeswax and myrrh, warm and fleshy, which envelop the dry and woody aspect of cedar. The painting comes to life. I imagine plunging my nose into my school bag, where the scents of pencil, leather and eraser mingled. It is a dive into my own memories as a schoolgirl, when I loved the smell of new school supplies above all else. Over the next hour, Nez Kraft Gommé heats up on the skin and blond tobacco blossoms. I think of Mina Tannenbaum, that beautiful film directed in 1993 by Martine Dugowson, which tells the story of a passionate friendship between Mina and Ethel, two young women born on the same day in 1958 but diametrically opposed in their character. Romane Borhinger plays Mina, a talented young painter who hates her physique and  dreams of being like her friend’s. Closing my eyes, the scenes where she paint emerge, her hair in disarray, paint on her fingers, hands, body.  Mina would wear Nez Kraft Gommé.

Tolu Balm warms the skin with its sensual tones and rounds off the woody-waxed scent of the first few minutes. Ambrox Super© intensifies a little more the carnal aspect of this perfume which speaks of memories and the first steps in adulthood to give it a certain sweetness: the first heartbeats, the first loves. It develops very gently on the skin, gradually abandoning the very pronounced woody notes. Very introspective at first, Kraft Gommé gradually opens up, without ever moving away from the linen – tobacco – tolu triptych which is its backbone. A fragrance which smells of memories, art and love …

Notes: linseed, beeswax, myrrh, cedarwood, tobacco, tolu balm, ambrox.

    Oh, this sounds lovely! I love Nez Magazine, and I have their first 1+1, Hong Kong Oolong and I love it! This perfume sounds intriguing and so different. I want to smell it! If I had my own scent, I would want Jo Malone to make it. It would be bright and fruity and crisp and joyful, which is what she does best. I’m in NYC.

  • I love atmospheric scents and this one seems wonderfully atmospheric. I have never heard of Nez La Revue before but will have to check it out. My dream perfume would be based around the airy, green resinous scent of cottonwood buds in the spring wind and I think Patricia Nicolai would be my choice to recreate that.

    Located in Canada

  • I am not familiar with Nez la Revue but this sounds very nice, very interesting notes. My dream perfume would be created by Quentin Bisch, I love his creations.
    From Mexico !

  • Gabriel Garcia says:

    The scent plays heavily with memory and i like that extraction and concept, ive never have read the nez magazine, and if I wanted to create a scent would be around the dry deserts and their seasons, probably created by Geza schoen. From
    Las Vegas nv. Usa

  • Very in-depth article. I am not familiar with
    Nez La Revue. I would definitely like to see what Marie Salamagne would design for me and always as a back up Oliver Crisp.

  • patrick_348 says:

    Emmanuelle’s review got my attention right away and I loved her reference to the movie Mina Tannenbaum. The idea of art supply smells tweaked to become even richer and fuller is super appealing. I have heard of Nez La Revue, but never actually looked at a copy. I would ask Heather d’Angelo to create my dream perfume. I am crazy about the fragrance she did for Scent Trunk for March 2020. I live in the US in North Carolina.

  • Oh such good questions! I enjoyed Emmanuelle’s review, it was interesting and informative, so much of a world I did not know anything about! I have not heard of Nez La Revue, so I am certainly curious to discover it. And very curious to try Kraft Gommé as well! Now the toughest question that is tricky to answer: perhaps Jerome Epinette.
    Thank you for the draw & hello from Canada

  • Dubaiscents says:

    I love these collaborations and have really enjoyed the previous two (sadly I missed the first one). This one caught my attention because of the desire to smell of school days (who doesn’t have those memories?). I was surprised how this took 48 mods to come to the perfect scent. I would love to try it. US

  • I’m haven’t heard of Nez La Revue but I love these types of memory evoking scents. As a kid, I didn’t like back to school time but all the new school supplies helped soften the blow. Francis Kurkdjian would create my dream perfume. From California.

  • The magazine (which I’d never heard of) and the fragrance both sound fascinating! I’d have Andy Tauer create my dream perfume. I live in Oklahoma, USA.

  • From his name I expected an even more woody perfume, ha-ha! I find the insight into the development interesting, it looks like a challenging process for someone not used to this.
    Only yesterday I was in my bottle of Oolong and love it, an underrated master piece my Maurice Roucel. I own the Folia as well, that Geosmin is good fun.
    So I’d love to win this to Germany, thanks for the draw!

  • ElenaChiss says:

    This is the first time I hear about this house, and also it has been a long time since I have tried something from Marie Salamagne. Also, a perfume and a magazine!? What can be better?
    Thanks for the draw!

    Notes: linseed, beeswax, myrrh, cedarwood, tobacco, tolu balm, ambrox. I loved reading this fragrance the notes sound great especially beeswax, myrrh, tobacco and Cedar wood. A house that I am not familiar with but if I was to have a dream perfume created only one perfumer comes to mind the master Christian provenzano. Thanks a million from the United Kingdom

A beautiful and nostalgic description by Emmanuel really captured my attention. I am intrigued by the notes especially by beeswax, myrrh and tobacco. A house that I am not familiar with but I am intrigued by nonetheless. Only one name if I had to have a dream perfume created by Luca Maffei. Thanks a lot from the UK

  • IcarusMidAir says:

    What an amazing surprise! Woodkid is one of my favorite artists and 7 have often lookd for and found inspiration in his music and cinematic videos!
    And now, the chance to explore an extra layer of his work, phenomenal!
    All the notes listed in the fragrance are music to my ears (and nose)! And how beautifully Emmanuelle managea to evoke this fragrance!
    If I ever had the opportunity to have a bespoke fragrance created, I would probably pick Marie Urban Le Febvre to compose it!

    I’m based in the EU. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!

  • I do not know Nez la Revue but this sounds very nice and I see some very interesting notes. Especially the backbone of linen – tobacco – tolu triptych. My dream perfume would be created by Prin Lomros, I really enjoy his perfumes.
    Living in the EU

  • I have heard of La Revue Nez and I was pleased to see they offer a limited edition 15 ml fragrance with their biannual issues. Nez Kraft Gommé sounds wonderful. I love beeswax as a fragrance note and I’d be interested to see how it works with other materials I enjoy, such as tobacco, myrrh, and tolu balm. I am in the USA and I would love the magazine issue in English. Thank you!

  • lupercoVII says:

    I never had the opportunity to read the magazine Nez and for me the project 1 + 1 is also a novelty.
    They both sound great, an excellent initiative!
    I am very attracted by the conceptual aspect of the fragrance presented and its development around the idea of memory.
    I live in EU
    Thanks!

  • I hears so many great things about Hong Kong Oolong. This one sounds very interesting and conceptual. Great concept to pair an artist with a perfumer and a magazine. My dreamnperfume would be created by Vaninna Muracciole.
    In EU Slovenia

  • Oh my, what a great review. This paragraph called my attention Front and center. “Ambrox Super© intensifies a little more the carnal aspect of this perfume which speaks of memories and the first steps in adulthood to give it a certain sweetness: the first heartbeats, the first loves. It develops very gently on the skin, gradually abandoning the very pronounced woody notes. Very introspective at first, “ I am in the US..

  • Lovely. Intriguing! I did not know about Nez la Revue, but am now very interested. The fragrance for #11 sounds wonderful. I too loved the smell of school supplies, and I miss it. I think I would have Mandy Aftel create my dream perfume. I love what she does. I also love Sherri Sebastian though.. tough. I’m in the US.

  • I am not familiar with this house, but I appreciate being introduced to them. If I were to have a bespoke fragrance I would hope to get Dawn Spencer Hurwitz to create it. In Maryland.

  • Trinity33 says:

    This sounds like a fascinating process for bringing the vision of a fragrance to life. This sounds like a perfume full of memories. The turpentine and school supply notes evoke a simpler time. The linen/tobacco/told backbone is appealing. I’ve not tried any La Revue Nez fragrances before. I would want Ulrich Lang to make a scent for me. Commenting from MD, USA.

  • What a great concept. I had never heard of Nez La Revue before. I will check out their website.

    The perfumer I would choose is Manuel Cross..

    I am in Canada. Thanks for the draw!

  • I have not heard of this house before, but the promise of a fragrance that comes along with a speciality magazine on perfumes, sounds tempting enough!
    If I were to choose a perfumer to create something just for me, I would go with the master Jean-Paul Guerlain.
    Thank you for this wonderful draw and review! I am commenting from the EU.

  • Not heard of the Nez la Revue until today. I can’t remember reading a better line a perfume review then, ” Its opening reminds me of turpentine”. So yeah, I want to win this and try it. US

  • Enjoyed reading this review of Nez Kraft Gommé by Emmanuelle. I am not familiar with this magazine. Nez Kraft Gommé seems to be such an interesting scent. Smells of paintings, old books – perfumers and perfumes showcased on Cafleurebon have so many creative twists and turns and sometimes tumbles. I am curious to try the magazine but it is expensive for $29, for a blind buy – it would be nice to have sample articles on web so one could decide whether to jump in or not with a subscription or an individual purchase. Being that perfumes are designed to individual tastes, they may not appeal to everyone. I would try Shawn Maher to create an individual perfume, though DSH, Sarah McCartney, and some others featured on Cafleurebon would also be worth checking out. Thanks for the review and a chance to participate in the draw. I’m in the USA.

  • Fragrance Capital says:

    The beautiful and nostalgic description by Emmanuelle really captured my attention. Her review is interesting and informative, I enjoyed it so much. I have not heard of Nez La Revue, so I am certainly curious to discover it. I am intrigued by the notes especially tobacco. I’m very interested to try this piece of art, Kraft Gommé. If I had my own scent, I would want Julien Rasquinet to make it, I like his way. Thank you for the draw & hello from Bosnia

  • The concept of 1+1 sounds really smart and exciting, and so does Gommé. The smell of “school years”, pencils, books, paper, dust is truly melancholy for many of us and I believe the idea of capturing it in a fragrance was really smart and tender. Emmanuelle poetically described its development towards the more soulful, grown-up, dynamic part of young years.
    I am not familiar with Nez La Revue.
    My dream perfume would be made by Dominique Ropion.
    I am in the EU

  • WeAreScentient says:

    Dying to try this, even more after reading Emmanuelle’s review, it sounds like its gonna take me back to my time in art college. Love hearing how this process was created & that it has so many memories for Woodkid.
    Nez is great, I have the 1st two of the 1+1 perfumes & they’re really beautiful.
    Id love Dawn Spencer Hurwitz to make me a perfume that smells like the internet. It would be great to see what it smells like, as its something we interact with daily. yet its an abstract thing full of everything & nothing.
    I live in Ireland

  • The story behind the scents make it all the more compelling — how would one like the scent ‘inspired by them’ to be, as one has many facets to themselves? Love the world of drafts and creations the notes would inspire. Reading the review makes me want to go ahead and experiment with the art supply ‘collection’ I hoard over the years — they are meant to create!

    I discovered Nez La Revue via Cafleurebon, so no I’m not familiar with them at all (but what a fascinating concept & execution!).

    A perfumer… hm, I’d say myself? (although I’m not a perfumer at all) because the process seems as equally great as the results! But if it’s gotta be a name then probably Prin Lomros of PRYN PARFUM/Strangers Parfumerie. Would the Dream Perfume be about me? We’ll see… (I’d rather like something about climate change, sustainability, conservation etc etc — but then again those are values that I hold dear and thus a piece of myself, aren’t they?)

    I’m based in Thailand! (and nowhere near French fluence so #11 volume in English if possible please!) 😀

  • BostonScentGuy says:

    I loved hearing in Emmanuelle’s review about the process of creating the fragrance/testing variations with COVID restrictions. I’ve loved everything I’ve tried from this series (esp Hong Kong Oolong), and I’m excited to try this one! My dream perfume would, I think, be created by Jacques Polge or Christopher Sheldrake. Thanks for the draw! I’m in the US–Boston.

  • To have linseed as a note, that could be considered very brave. I’m glad it seems to have turned out so pleasing. I’d love to be reminded of art class experiences. I’ve heard of Nez before, but don’t know much about it. (USA)

  • Claumarchini says:

    Wow, this scent sounds absolutely amazing… I love the feeling of going back to school times, I can totally relate when Emmanuelle says she loved so much the smell of new school supplies, of the leather bag and… Oh! Turpentine! I have heard of Nez la revue but never actually read it, and I didn’t know they use to create a limited edition scent, it would be amazing to be the lucky winner! If I could ask a nose to create a perfume for me it would be Cécile Zarokian or Mckenzie Reilly. Greetings from Italy

  • Laurentiu says:

    I never heard about this house before, so Cafleurebon is really a source of inspiration when wanting to find out about new things – either if it has been on the market for some time, or not, you always get to know something that you have not know about!
    I like the combintion of myrrh and beeswax. I also think that is a warm mix.
    Thank you!

  • Julesinrose says:

    Yes, I’m familiar with Nez, though I’ve never treated myself to a copy (silly me). I am FASCINATED by this project. I’m familiar with the smell of this tape and I like turnpenoids, the smell of linen, and tobacco. In fact, I have dreamt of creating a true linen smelling scent as I used to spin and weave linen! This sounds great and I hope to try it, either by being a lucky winner, or by getting my hands on a bottle the normal way, lol! Right now I’m quite enamored of January Scent project so I’d love to work with John Bieber if I was ever lucky enough to co-create a fragrance. Not gonna happen, just a dream! In the USA

  • The opening was definitely a surprise, and makes the perfume sound very different! I would have thought that it would have more of a crisp paper smell, but this sounds super interesting, this translation to a fragrance.
    I’ve heard of Nez La Revue but never actually read any of the issues. I’d love to have something created by Mandy Aftel and would love something with osmanthus and resins. I live in the USA. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Nom de Guerre says:

    This is exciting, I’m still not over the fact that I missed the Woodkind concert here in Riga, Latvia due to Covid. I have all four of Nez perfumes on my to-buy list even though Hongkong Oolong is long gone.

    This looks like something right up my alley – the smell of oil paint, turpentine, canvas, beeswax and pencil shavings.

    As for a perfumer for me, it would be a split between Maurice Roucel and Christopher Sheldrake.

    Thank you, Emmanuelle for the wonderful review and for bringing to my attention a new release from Nez. All the best!

  • I had never heard about this magazine before but the concept of creating limited edition fragrances by a music artist and a perfumer is a genius idea. I happen to love both Woodkid and Marie Salamagne. My dream fragrance would be made by Thierry Wasser. I live in Denmark, EU.

  • wandering_nose says:

    I have a huge adoration and respect for conceptual fragrances and I consider them pure artworks. Nez Kraft Gomme sounds as amazing as it seems to have been challenging for Marie Salamagne to create. I love the scent of leather( both new and worn in), pencil and eraser, as well as myrrh and tolu balm. I haven’t been familiar with Nez La Revue creations so far but would love to try them. The perfumers that would create my dream perfume are Dawn Spencer Hurwitz and Geza Schoen. Thank you from Ireland, EU

  • Terrianne says:

    Opening a bag filled with new school supplies; Unsharpened pencils, unused erasers and such, is a joy to be experienced as a kid and held in your memory.

    Love this!

    Have not tried Nez La Revue.

    Probably MFK or Daphne Bugey.

    Hi from Boston

  • I love these little Nez perfumes, I’ll probably blind buy this one just on the appeal of the olfactory memories of school supplies. I’m in the US and I would choose Dawn Spencer Hurwitz to create my dream perfume because IMHO she is flawless.

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thank you for the great review Emmanuelle! I am not familiar with the Nez La Revue magazine but I really like the concept of including a bespoke fragrance for the readers to experience.

    I liked the connection of the fragrance to the Mina Tannenbaum movie. It is always beautiful to see one medium connected to another.

    I would love to have Jean Claude Ellena or Inneke Ruhland to make my scent.

    Cheers from WI, USA

  • The review was great, as always! I haven’t heard of Nez La Revue before this review, I’m certainly going to buy a couple of issues still available because I’m in love with the concept! As for my dream perfume, my perfumer would have to be Quentin Bisch or Dominic Ropion, I would love to smell what they achieve with my creative input! I live in Croatia, EU

  • Spicerobby says:

    J’aime les parfums et j’aime la musique de Woodkid, je suis vraiment curieux de pouvoir le sentir en vrai ce Kraft Gommé.

  • Lucie Barratault says:

    That’s article made me travel with the imagination of scents !
    I really can’t wait to smell Kraft Gommé in real !!!
    I enjoy dreaming thanks to music like Woodkid’s and its orchestra I already had the chance to saw at a concert (Iron, Run boy run…) as well as dreaming with fragrances.

    I also love to read Nez La revue in paper or digital versions always learning new things.
    Thanks to all of the contributers by the way !

    If I could ask one perfumer to create my own fragrance it would be to Christopher Sheldrake after all his wonderfull creations for Serge Lutens like Féminité du bois, A la nuit, Sa majesté la rose…

    Emmanuelle’s review took me straight back to afternoons in my high school art room…I can smell the turpentine, cigarette smoke, and leather satchels. I would want Shawn Maher of Chatillon Lux and Maher Olfactive to create my dream perfume…now off to search for “Minna Tannenbaum.”
