My aunt would also always tell this one anecdote: My grandmother was a fantastic cook, and she had an apron with embroidered flowers, so when I was a little, little kid, and I could barely walk, I would approach her and sniff the embroidered flowers of her apron. Everybody remembers it; there aren’t any pictures, but my aunt is still talking about it.

It’s a really nice interview. He says some very interesting things about things that smell unclean and how he loves incorporating those in fragrances. I instantly thought of his beautiful Âme perdue, which has a very overripe fruit note.
Agree — he comes off better than many of these from The Cut.
My niece used to sniff the wallpaper flowers. 😀
Cute!
