“Every time I’ve gone through depression or heartbreak, I usually light candles, and they’re so beautiful when they’re lit, but when you blow them out, you have that few seconds where you smell that burnt wick”
Photo: Elizaveta Porodina 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 Mona Kattan, sister of Huda Kattan and Global President of Huda Beauty. Mona also is the co-founder of Huda Beauty’s first sub-brand, luxury fragrance line KAYALI.
Love smells like: Roses and vanilla. I remember wearing it on the first date I ever went on, and even today, every time I smell it I think of those butterflies you get before a date that you’re excited about. I always feel romantic when I smell roses and vanilla; I find it so cozy and warm. My home smells like roses and vanilla too, I like to be in that state at all times.
Regret smells like: Have you ever smelled your hands after you’ve touched stainless steel? That weird, metallic smell? That reminds me of regret. Maybe it’s because every time I touch it, I instantly regret it because it’s so hard to get that smell off your hands … but it’s this bitterness that doesn’t smell good or energizing, it just makes me feel kind of sick, which reminds me of regret.
Vacation smells like: Coconuts and vanilla. Any time I smell those coconut body sprays, it reminds me of being on a beach and it just transports me to Thailand or Mexico; somewhere tropical and relaxing. Coconut perfumes or candles just transport you to holiday mode.
