My mother worked in a chocolate factory, so when I came home from school, I had a piece of baguette with dark chocolate in it. I remember her smelling like chocolate.

Everyone knows that there are some odors that send you directly back to memories of your childhood - odors from Christmas time and so forth.

As a child, our house had a backyard lined with roses tended vigilantly by my mother. So the fragrance fills me with nostalgia for my youth.

I remember making my own fragrances when I was young.

I always remember smelling Chanel No. 5 at home - my mum used to literally pour it, and she rocked it.

Childhood smells of perfume and brownies.

Scents evoke very, very powerful memories, whether it's the scent of someone that you know and someone that you love, or if it's a meal that your mother made.

Smell is so powerful, you know. My grannies would both bake things like shortbreads and cookies. I think whenever I smell those kinds of things it really takes me back to my childhood.

I grew up to the smell of doughnuts, scones, pies, and bread.
