    I’m drawn to fragrances that draw YOU in. Warm scents that make you want to get up close to the skin that’s wearing it.

    What’s your earliest memory of perfume?
    When I was little—maybe around 4 or 5—I used to make “perfume” for my mother out of smushed up flowers, seeds and vanilla extract. She was sweet to wear it from time to time and so that was her day scent, I guess. At night when she went out with my father she wore Opium, by YSL.

    Nothing really, unless Suave coconut shampoo counts.

    Burning wood, wet pavement.

    What did your home growing up smell like?
    House smells are so hard to describe! Best try: dust and the dog and sunlight and mac and cheese.

    What’s your sign?
    Cancer, with moon in Libra.
