Tia Carrere became a pop culture force as Cassandra Wong in Wayne’s World, but her legacy goes far beyond that iconic role. She’s a two-time Grammy winner, the voice of Nani in the original Lilo & Stitch, and a Hollywood legend with stories that span red carpets, fight scenes, and fragrance rituals that ground her through it all.
Now starring in the new live-action Lilo & Stitch, Tia joins Scent World host Marianne Mychaskiw to talk about scent, self-worth, and what it really means to own the room. From the perfumes that defined her 90s come-up to the grounding rituals she swears by today, Tia gets real about power, presence, and staying rooted in who you are.
Tune in for:
• The scent that feels most like Cassandra
• What it smells like to step into your power
• The flower from Hawaii that shaped her identity
• Her advice to people who refuse to be boxed in
• Why sometimes the right fragrance says it all
