Liis Fragrance Founders Share How Scent Can Become Your Second Skin

In this Fragrance Friday episode on Skin Anarchy, we step into the sensual world of niche fragrance with the founders of Liis, Alissa Sullivan and Leslie Hendin. Built on a shared obsession with scent and a decade-long friendship, Liis is a fragrance house that brings a new level of intimacy, artistry, and storytelling to the perfume space. Trained at ISIPCA and Central Saint Martins respectively, Alissa and Leslie fuse science and creativity to craft perfumes that are deeply personal and wearable.

Liis is known for creating scents that feel like a second skin—light, sheer, and long-lasting. Each fragrance is rooted in memory and emotion, designed to evoke feeling rather than overpower. A standout from the collection, Lucienne, captures brightness and clarity with notes of pomelo, lemon zest, magnolia, and marine accords, delivering a salty-citrus glow that feels fresh and luminous.

Clean beauty is a core pillar for the brand. Liis fragrances are formulated without phthalates, preservatives, or unnecessary synthetics. Everything from the recyclable packaging to the sustainably sourced ingredients reflects the founders’ California roots and commitment to conscious beauty.

The episode explores Liis’ layerable scent structure, its evolution from three original fragrances to a growing library, and what’s next—including an upcoming body care line that expands their signature scent language into new formats. Whether you're a fragrance lover or just beginning your journey, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at the power of scent to tell stories and connect us to ourselves.
