55: So You Want to Be a Perfumer...

What's it like to be a perfumer? Is it like going to Hogwarts School of Whiffcraft & Whiffery? In some ways, yes. And in some ways...not no. Luckily, we have perfumer Marissa Zappas on to tell us about her journey into the olfactory arts, what it's like going from the corporate world of fragrance to carving her own independent path in scent sorcery, and why it's better to study for a smell test when you're ovulating. Find out more about Marissa Zappas at her website and on Instagram at @marissazappas.
