MICHAEL B. LUCAS

Family History

On July 12, 1983, in the Southeastern region of the United States, Michael B. Lucas was born to a working-class family in Macon, Georgia. Throughout his childhood, Michael was constantly stimulated and surrounded by artistry and artisanship. He shared a generational talent that had been passed down by his great-grandfather, talents shared by his grandfather, father, sisters, aunts, uncles, and even cousins. “It is truly a gift from God,” Michael says, “Everyone in my family can either paint, draw or sculpt.”

Early Life

By the age of twelve, Michael realized his love and passion for artistry and artisanship, but it was not until he attended University that he really began to pursue his dream. “I did not know that you could earn a salary for your artwork. My family has always treated art as a hobby or a conversation piece. They truly were artist, not seeking monetary gain however, I wanted to do what I love for a living and live for what I love doing.” Michael stated in a behind the scenes interview.

Education and Early Work

Once Michael graduated University, he returned home to work in his family’s business, a healthcare agency his mother and father started in 1997, which had grown success during his University years. While there, Michael found his way to the accounting division of the company. “I had a minor in Business, and a major in History, but my passion was still design and fashion.” Michael revealed.

Genesis of Miguel Brando

“I was at a crossroads. I knew I wanted to be in the world of fashion, so I began to immerse myself in this art. I tried everything from photography, modeling, fashion, and design and when I found out that neither were for me, I began perfumery. I moved into my parents’ home, into a room above the garage, and began to formulate ideas for perfumes. I was very captivated by fragrances of my father and two uncles when I was a child. Trading and selling fragrances while in University sparked my interest further to pursue creating my own. From that, MIGUEL BRANDO was born.”

Marriage, Family, and Jobs

Simultaneously, a budding relationship that was 10 years in the making was also being born. “I was 12 years old when I met my future wife, Adrianne. I have always said that I found my two passions at the same time fragrance and her. So, years later, it was only natural that marriage was in the air. I took on a second job to help pay for the wedding and the ring working at Belk in the Ralph Lauren division of the store. I was still immersing myself in fragrance, and I would have taken on a hundred jobs because it was all worth it to be married to my inspiration. She has given me two beautiful children and I could not be happier with my life, which is why I am so motivated, so inspired, and so determined to make Miguel Brando a household name.”

“Imagine a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of Italian sophistication, weaving together opulent notes to create a unique and dreamlike olfactory experience. Each spray transports you to a world where luxury intertwines with the unmistakable allure of the Italian way of life leaving an indelible mark of distinction.”
