My first scent memory is: This fragrance-perfume-incense thing that my mom used to wear. She still wears it now. I don’t know what goes in it, it’s so hard to explain, but it just smells so good. Every time I go home my mom is wearing it and it reminds me of my childhood days.My favorite food smells like: Burgers. I’m obsessed with them, it’s a problem. I went vegan— I’m not vegan anymore — but I went vegan for a little bit and the first thing I ate after was a burger.
Vacation smells like: A pool and the sun hitting your skin. It smells like the beach, and ocean water. It smells like sleep and nobody disturbing you. Monday mornings smell like: Depression. You wake up and you immediately start to question yourself: Do I need this money today? Can I live without this? I hate working on Mondays, but I think everyone does. I just don’t want to see human beings. During the weekend, I rarely see a lot of people because it’s my chill time, and then you come to Monday and you have to adjust to having to see people again.
