Reading Base Notes was like visiting old friends, going back to their flats and getting up to no good, remembering those journeys you take as a youth into sketchy relationships, strange places, moving through different worlds until you finally find out who you are. Each door into the past opened with a scent memory.
Whether it’s the physical pain of embarrassment that tempers our adolescent relationships with our parents, or the warmth we feel for them in their fragility as we get older. Adelle tells it all with such tender humour.
Each step in her journey also encourages us to close our eyes, inhale, and recall our own. Which scent do you attach to your key moments? It’s such a lovely way of navigating our own histories.
