.otherlandhome founder Abigail Cook Stone loves the smell of a freshly popped can of tennis balls, but her home smells like a tropical punch bouquet of tutti fruity and sour gummy ambrosia
Photo-Illustration: by The Cut; Photos: Courtesy of Otherland Candles 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.
Love smells like: The toasted spices of cumin, turmeric, and paprika that have been dry roasted on the stove. That makes the base of many of Sri Lankan Muslim dishes that Sayyid’s family has in their repertoire. I’ve been learning to cook some of them. His grandmother documented all of her recipes, and they put them into a cookbook. I’ll never be able to stack up to his grandmother or his mother and their exquisite expertise, but it has still been fun to learn.
Success smells like: The smoky, oxidized, tinny, metallic notes that come from sparklers. This is a little tradition that Sayyid and I have. We use them on birthdays or a deal at work or even, sometimes during the pandemic, just a Saturday night. He loves sparklers; we always have a stash on hand. I think success is the thrill of the shower of fiery sparks and that sensory overload: the crackling, and the way they look.
My home smells like: We have an Otherland scent going in every room. We’re always testing scents and burning candles. Right now, it’s this hot chilli flake flora, sort of this sriracha rose that we are trying out. But there are a couple of scents that I associate with home.
