For Maeva Heim, the worst smell is “Bananas. Something about bananas drives me up the wall. You don’t even have to crack the banana open, it just has to be in the vicinity, and I’ll be like, ‘Does someone have a banana? Because I need to leave’’”

Happiness smells like: Fruit Loops cereal milk. There’s something just so comforting and nostalgic about that smell. To me, it’s a really innocent smell, because it reminds me of my childhood and teen years, and nothing can taint it. Every time I smell it, it takes me back to that age. Once I knew that we were doing Bread Hair Wash as a milky texture, I was like, “This has to smell like Fruit Loops cereal milk. If it’s gonna be a milk scent, that’s what it has to be.
Friendship smells like: I don’t know if you have this in the U.S., but this colored hairspray. It was something we used to use when I was in primary school when we had our sports carnival. At the sports carnival, we would each have different factions, and you would spray your hair the color of your faction. It has a very distinct smell, and if I smell that, it just reminds me so much of that time, and the friendships, and the bonds, and the camaraderie—like nothing else.
The worst smell is: I have so many. Dead ants, stink beetles; the smell of cooked coconut oil makes me want to gag. But my number one worst smell is actually bananas. I hate them. I could never be a health food blogger. Something about bananas drives me up the wall. You don’t even have to crack the banana open, it just has to be in the vicinity, and I’ll be like, “Does someone have a banana? Because I need to leave.” I’ve always been like that, I don’t know why.
The first thing I smell in the morning: The top of my dog’s head. You know how people say babies have a distinct smell and you feel a certain way when you smell the baby? Well I’m weird, and I get like that with my dogs, so I like to smell the tops of their little heads. I’ve looked after a couple of dogs because we look after seeing eye puppies from when they’re little until they’re adults so they can go on to become seeing eye dogs.
