Luckyscent Videos: Livestream - Marissa Zappas

Hello, everyone. Okay. As usual, the first few seconds are just kind of a test to see if you can hear us okay. Oh, good. I got a thumbs up that we're audible. So you're probably wondering why Dana looks so different. We are so happy to have Marissa Zappas in the store. Welcome. Thank you so much.

This is really so exciting because it's interesting when you feel like you kind of know someone a little bit just through their perfumes, you know, just from their art. So when you meet face to face, I just have so many questions because I feel like I somewhat know you, but this is the first time we've met face to face. It is. I know. Very exciting.

So I just found out that Marissa is from California. You're a California girl. I was born in Torrance and I grew up in the Bay Area. That's fantastic. And then you moved to New York and you're based in New York. Yes, I've been in New York for 13 years. Amazing. Yeah.

So, you know, I just want to get some of the bio stuff out of the way. Like, so obviously you live in New York. There's a huge perfume industry in New York, probably the biggest in the United States. Is that why you moved to New York? It's not. It's not? Okay. It's not. I moved to New York because it was one of those sort of, I had a very romanticized idea of New York City when I was young and I thought, you know, I could be whoever I wanted to be in New York, but I actually, I moved to New York when I was 20. Yeah, I was like 25 and I only really got into perfume when I was 27, 28. And it was sort of, I stumbled into it as most people I think do.

That is so cool. But I want to hear more about stumbling into it
