nose wrinkle

Disgust face signal

A nose wrinkle is the scrunching of the nose, typically expressing disgust, disapproval, or playful affection.

The involuntary version signals something smells bad or seems distasteful: She gave a nose wrinkle at the suggestion.

The deliberate version—often called a bunny nose—can be flirtatious or cute: He did that little nose wrinkle she loved.
