Hello Sarah Bouasse, Alix Douchet and Amandine V\u00e9pierre <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nez en Herbe association, a partner of the 5 Senses for Kids Foundation, has taken the initiative to write a manual on olfactory awareness for young and old<\/em> alike. Can you remind us what the Nez en Herbe association is all about? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Bouasse: Nez en Herbe is an association that aims to integrate olfactory awareness into educational programmes, starting in nurseries and pre-schools. It works to put smell back at the heart of learning by creating workshops, educational resources and tools that are accessible to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alix Douchet: The association brings together scientists, educators, perfume professionals and enthusiasts, driven by the conviction that smell is a lever for attention, curiosity and understanding of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are the three main authors of this manual. How did the project come about? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amandine V\u00e9pierre: The project arose from a clearly identified need. There was no real reference point to support olfactory awareness from an early age. Parents, teachers and educators expressed a lack of guidance, structured activities and accessible explanations about this fundamental sense. Together, we wanted to fill this gap by bringing together the expertise of the members of Nez en Herbe and our experience in the field to design a book that is both inspiring and easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
