The Perfume Mistress Episode

Dear beautiful people, it’s giving vanilla dreams, sculpting onesies, and a yellow canary bag that’s not a bird — it’s fashion.

This week, we’re dressed like desserts and joined by the fabulous Marjia — perfume oracle, fashion queen, and the divine nose behind Perfumeria. Ivana once wandered into her store looking for Clive Christian “X” — only to be told it didn’t pass Marjia’s sniff test. Marjia was not enchanted by it, she simply doesn’t stock it. Iconic behaviour.

We dive into Marjia’s scent story — from a perfume-deprived childhood (her father said, “If God wanted you to smell like a flower....”) to Marjia being called "the scent Diviner" by a magazine. We talk signature scents, memory-triggering perfumes, and why one good fragrance is worth a thousand photographs.

Marjia shares the truth behind natural vs synthetic, endocrine drama, and why AI might have a nose for the future. She’s crafted perfumes for luxury brands and her 8-year-old, but don’t ask her to do throw a scent party. She’s a purist.

Also: gym onesies that lift and sculpt, husbands who don’t get the look (so it’s perfect for St Tropez), and why you should only buy things that make you feel a little sexy and very alive.
