Christmas for me is all about spending time with my family. I cherish any chance we have to spend all day together making gingerbread houses, baking cookies, or sitting around and watching movies.
The smell of pine needles, spruce and the smell of a Christmas tree - those to me, are the scents of the holidays.
Fragrance is a bit of a selfish gift because it's comforting when you're near someone and you recognize their smell.
When I was a child, I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with The Spice Girls. I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace - when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall - and a Union Jack dress.
I think baking is an incredible thing; cooking in general is an incredible thing.
I've been so lucky to work with such great people: people that are such hard workers and have such a respect and appreciation for one another.
I came from a big family - two brothers and two sisters. So, there were always a ton of boys around and a ton of girls around. So, I grew up comfortable with both sexes.
Scents evoke very, very powerful memories, whether it's the scent of someone that you know and someone that you love, or if it's a meal that your mother made.
If you ever want something badly, let it go. If it comes back to you, then it's yours forever. If it doesn't, then it was never yours to begin with.
When I have bad days, I just eat lots of chocolate ice cream and dance to the 'Lion King' soundtrack. It's really odd, but it's true.
If you want someone to miss you, go secretly and spray your fragrance somewhere.
All I need is my Chanel dress, my Louboutins, and some red lipstick.
The New York that Frank Sinatra sang about, people will never know that place. The New Orleans that Louis Armstrong sang about is the New Orleans that's still there - it's preserved.
I'm lucky enough to lead a very active life, so I'm always on the go.
