Scent Memory

For Stylist, Nadia Flower illustrates a personal essay by the magazine's beauty director on grief, memory and the fragrances we carry with us.

Certain scents can bring back a person or moment in an instant, which was the starting point for this Stylist feature. Written by Hanna Ibraheem, the piece reflects on loss and the memories that remain attached to fragrance long after someone is gone.

Nadia's soft, atmospheric watercolours mirror the article's reflective tone. Her handcrafted approach and gentle use of the medium lend a sense of fragility and nostalgia to a story centred on memory and loss.
