Celine Roux on loving the smell of candy, baby necks, and making all of her friends wear her scents
Photo: Courtesy of Celine Roux Call it the Proust effect: Memories are often triggered by smells. Scientific studies confirm that out 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 Celine Roux, Global Director of Fragrance at Jo Malone London.
Love smells like: A beautiful red lipstick. Maybe it’s because of classic movies, but I think it’s very elegant and glamorous. I worked in makeup before working in fragrances, and whenever I smell lipstick, I just smell love. Success smells like: Sea salt. A fragrance I worked on many, many years ago was inspired by the English coast. It was a bit unusual and it wasn’t really trendy to do a scent about the English coast or sea salt, and now it’s one of our bestsellers.
My home smells like: Jo Malone London Green Tomato Leaf candles. That’s my basic home scent when I don’t have anything new from my team to try. But to be fair, that’s almost never.
