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
✨ Scent World is the podcast that explores the beauty and grooming rituals of today’s most exciting artists and entertainers. Every other week, they reveal the scents that shaped their lives—and the ones they can’t live without.
