Osmé: A Cultural History of Fragrance is an online journal from Atropos Parfums, edited by Nuri McBride, that explores the role of scent across time, culture, and society. Rather than treating perfume as a mere luxury product, Osmé views fragrance as a thread woven through ritual, identity, and collective memory.

The journal’s approach is deliberately interdisciplinary, drawing on history, anthropology, literature, and sensory studies. Intending to be accessible yet deeply informed, Osmé offers a platform for scholars, perfumers, and enthusiasts alike. It invites readers to consider how fragrance continues to influence imagination, community, and daily life, making the invisible world of scent part of cultural history.
