“Beautiful and minimalist, the traditional Japanese art of ikebana - arranging bouquets of cut flowers and leaves using very few elements - ideally corresponded to a form of expression I could transpose in a perfume.

“In November, the smell of food is different. It is an orange smell. A squash and pumpkin smell. It tastes like cinnamon and can fill up a house in the morning, can pull everyone from bed in a fog.

“Paris in the early morning has a cheerful, bustling aspect, a promise of delicious things to come, a positive smell of coffee and croissants, quite peculiar to itself. The people welcome a new day as if they were certain of liking it, the shopkeepers pull up their blinds serene in the expectation of good trade, the workers go happily to their work, the people who have sat up all night in night-clubs go happily to their rest, the orchestra of motor-car horns, of clanking trams, of whistling policemen tunes up for the daily symphony, and everywhere is joy.” PeopleIfsJoyNightCertainMorningCarPromiseExpectationsAspectTradeWorkersClubsSmellCoffeeWelcomeParisSatTunesPeculiarDeliciousCheerfulOrchestraAll NightHornsSymphonyMotorNew DayPolicemenSereneEarly MorningWhistlingUp All NightPull UpsShopkeepersNight ClubMotor CarsTramsCroissantsTune Up Book:The Nancy Mitford Omnibus Source: The Nancy Mitford Omnibus

“As far as sleeping goes, you're up and ready to go at six in the morning. Spring training was always a combination of relaxing and working, and I missed that quite a bit.

“The rich, sweet smell of the hayricks rose to his chamber window; the hundred perfumes of the little flower-garden beneath scented the air around; the deep-green meadows shone in the morning dew that glistened on every leaf as it trembled in the gentle air: and the birds sang as if every sparkling drop were a fountain of inspiration to them.” IfsLittlesInspirationNatureMorningRichAirSweetFlowerBirdHundredGardenWindowGreenRoseSmellGentleLeafsFountainPerfumeChamberDewMeadowsSparklingFlower GardenMorning Dew Book:The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club Source: The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club

“Love is the hardest thing in the world to write about. So simple. You've got to catch it through details, like the early morning sunlight hitting the gray tin of the rain spout in front of her house.

There are few sights that appeal to me more than the streaks of lean and fat in a good side of bacon, or the lovely round of pinkish meat framed in delicate white fat that is Canadian bacon.

“I love to cook. In fact, at this exact moment, I am trying something new: I am cooking a whole chicken in my crockpot, which I've never done before. I browned it with garlic powder, salt and pepper, and I put a bunch of celery and onions - which I'll have to hide from the children because they claim to hate onions - and I'm going to make homemade mashed cream potatoes. I always, before I leave for work in the morning, have supper cooking. That way, when I come home and they come home from school, there's all kinds of good smells in the house.” WayTryingKindChildrenDoneWholeMomentsFactsHomeSchoolHateHouseMorningClaimsCookingSmellBunchAll KindsCooksSomething NewChickensComing HomeSaltCreamPotatoesOnionsSupperPowderPeppersGarlicHomemadeCeleryTrying SomethingTrying Something NewSalt And Pepper Author:Nancy Grace
