Fragrance takes you on a journey of time. You can walk down the street and pass someone and get taken back 20 years. It's very Proustian that way.

More quotes by Daphne Guinness
Memories are like mercury. Every time you sort of try to get near them, they slip out of your hand like a bar of soap.
Daphne Guinness
Eccentric is a difficult word because it's come to mean crazy. Avant-garde would be better. Eccentric is not centric in terms of having a center. Because sometimes it's used in a derogatory context.
Daphne Guinness
If I eat, I can't work. I'll eat when I'm dead.
Daphne Guinness
I play piano and I sing. But I do that for fun. I mean, I do everything for fun.
Daphne Guinness
I practice stoic philosophy. As a human being, you may have emotions, but these don't need to affect your soul. The two are not one.
Daphne Guinness
I don't regard clothing as disposable, which is probably why I have so much of it!
Daphne Guinness
Fashion is not just about trends. It's about political history. You can trace it from the ancient Romans to probably until the '80s, and you can see defining moments that were due either to revolutions or changes in politics.

If you go into a relationship when you're 16, you've got no baggage.
Daphne Guinness
Human beings all mimic each other.
Daphne Guinness
I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.
Daphne Guinness
But things don't necessarily have to be that expensive to be good. As long as they are expensive enough to last.
Daphne Guinness
I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone's neck. It needs to be something else - and there is something extremely magical about armour.
Daphne Guinness
I don't like to look at myself in the mirror, which is why my eye makeup is always crooked.
Daphne Guinness
I can't understand it when people are closed-minded. I mean, boy, have I made mistakes and been very wrong. I can't tell you the amounts of times I've been let down, but I still try to see the best in people.
Daphne Guinness
Life is full of banana skins. You slip, you carry on.
Daphne Guinness
Sunglasses are great, but I always feel a bit pretentious wearing sunglasses. I mean, I do love to wear them.
Daphne Guinness
I really try to understand what people are saying and answer as honestly as I can. But sometimes it's like they try to tie you into knots. That's why I mostly steer clear of the popular press. I try not to read . . . Well, I never read gossip press. I just read books. And I never switch on the TV any more.
Daphne Guinness
My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.
Daphne Guinness
I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.
Daphne Guinness
I really don't understand the idea of a celebrity stylist. Is it a real job? I know there's unemployment, but frankly the railways need to be fixed, too.
