For Anu Prestonia, regret smells like “something gone sour, like a sour washcloth or a sour clothing”

Happiness smells like: A cacophony of scents for me, because I am happiest when I’m sitting at my perfume organ. Perfumery has a lot of musical terminology, like the scent is called “notes,” and when a perfumer has all their essential oils laid out in front of them, usually it’s on some kind of wooden structure that has steps to it, and it’s called an organ. When I’m sitting in front of the organ, creating a perfume, I have to smell each thing before I drop it into the formulation.
Friendship smells like: Good food, good beverages, and eating some place that you love to eat, because I’m usually breaking bread with friends. I love that experience of, “Let’s go eat!” My friends and I went to this place recently called Planta Queen, and I was really surprised by the scents and the tastes, which were very different. It’s a vegan place and they’re very creative in how they make their dishes and the plant-based materials they use.
My home smells: Divine. I say that because people always walk in and say, “Oh, it smells so good in here.” But the reason why I use that terminology is because I burn a lot of sacred resins in my home: frankincense, myrrh, kopal, and sage to cleanse and clear the air, because that’s what our ancestors did. They burned and smudged the sage to clear out bad smells and stagnant energy. After I’ve burned the sacred resins, I’ll burn some of my sweeter things like bakhoor, or amber.
