Actually the nose does have bones...

The root of the nose - between the eyes - is the nasal parts of the frontal bone (forehead bone). This bone is called the ethmoid. There are then 2 nasal bones a little lower (you can feel how solid your nose is at the top - definitely bone! Not the tip, the top). The rest of the nose is mainly cartilage. There is, however, a bony part to the nasal septum (the part that separates the nostrils) too. Again, you can feel this.
The human nose is constructed of cartilage; it does not contain bones.
