Hey guys, welcome back to Skin Anarchy. This is Fragrance Friday and I have such an amazing brand to share with you.

I have recently fallen in love with Lease fragrances. They are such a unique brand. It's niche luxury perfumery.

They have such an interesting collection of fragrances because I feel like it's very, very difficult these days to find a scent that really lingers for a long time

and also just smells like a second skin, something you can really live in and fall in love with.

So without me ranting too much, I want to introduce you guys to Alisa and Leslie.

Welcome, guys. So excited to chat.

Hi. Thanks so much for having us.

No, it's a pleasure. I absolutely adore what you've done and the whole feel of it. You know, it's just really for me personally.

Zipka, which is the world-renowned

famous perfume school in Versailles. And Leslie was about to move to Europe to pursue a master's

at Central St. Martin. So it was really, you know, such a special connection. And when she moved,

we actually lived in like the same neighborhood. So we quickly became like

best friends and, you know, really bonding over our love for for scent art and design. Yeah.

That's wonderful. Yeah. I love that. I love that you guys were, you know, in the same place. And I'm

curious, like, did you ever have moments where you were like, you know, maybe there was like a local shop or something that you both smelled that you both loved
