Founded in 2021 by New York-based perfumer and poet Marissa Zappas, her namesake brand has quickly become a darling of the indie fragrance world. A former anthropology student who trained under master perfumer Olivier Gillotin, Zappas brings a deeply narrative and historical approach to her craft. Her work is celebrated for its ethereal, slightly gothic, and nostalgic aesthetic, drawing inspiration from avant-garde cinema, tragic Hollywood figures, and hyper-specific childhood memories.
