In honor of Anwar Hadid being one of the model faces of Valentino’s new fragrance, we asked him about all his favorite scents
Photo: Getty Images Call it the Proust effect: Memories are often triggered by smells. Scientific studies confirm that, of all the senses, smell offers the best recall. In Scent Memories, the Cut asks people about the scents they associate with different times in their lives. Next up is Anwar Hadid; model, brother of fellow sibling-models Gigi and Bella Hadid, and one of the model faces of Valentino’s new Born in Roma fragrance with fellow model Adut Akech.
My first scent memory is: Probably rose and lemon; something classy that I would always smell around the house.Love smells like: Roses. And I know I just said that, but roses. Definitely roses. And the smell of rain.Vacation smells like: Coconut and pineapple. And fruits. I’m so boring [laughs].Monday morning smells like: Coffee. Any kind. I’ll go to Starbucks and be like Yo, give me anything you have. Anything.
My home smells like: Eucalyptus and cedarwood. It’s this candle my homie got for the middle of my house — it’s just this big candle, like a huge one. It’s massive and has like five wicks. It’s actually one of the biggest candles I’ve ever seen. My favorite food smells like: A homemade pasta. Homemade and love-induced, you know? That’s fire … pesto pasta! When me and my friends whip it up, we do the little shells and put a little Parmesan cheese in there. Some sun-dried tomatoes, some parsley … or whatever. I made that up. We don’t put the parsley. Some day I have to do that though: Put a green in there, and mix it up. Perfect pesto pasta. Really easy.
