Yes, I always remember my dad's, mom's and my grandma's perfumes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My first and strongest memories about perfume come from childhood, from my mother, and they are a complex blend of her private and public selves.
I remember making my own fragrances when I was young.
Of course I remember everything I've ever worn.
I think it's important to recall... what you remember your grandmother making, where you're from and the foods you enjoyed as a child yourself, and pass that information off to your kids.
I always remember my childhood house with happy memories. There was a beautiful garden, and outside my bedroom window was a jasmine vine which would open in the evenings, giving off a divine scent.
My most cherished possessions are my grandma's letters and my vintage Martha Washington cookbook.
My first memory in the world is my gym teacher ripping my mother's necklace off her neck and throwing it out the window and her running downstairs to go after it. I have no memory before that. I was 4. My father had a lot of girlfriends and my mother had a lot of boyfriends.
I have that memory of dancing on my father's feet to all the music my parents used to listen to.
A lot of my collections are informed by nostalgia. I think that's because I loved clothes early on. I remember, at maybe age five, being concerned about what I wore, right down to the underwear.
My grandmothers are full of memories, smelling of soap and onions and wet clay, with veins rolling roughly over quick hands, they have many clean words to say, my grandmothers were strong.
