Check out these eight Black-owned perfumes.
The gift of fragrance is one of the easiest presents to give for the holiday season, as you don’t need to know what size a person wears or their favorite color. Plus, they make good stocking stuffers.
It may help to know what types of scents tickle their fancy. What appeals to people, and what might turn people off is often triggered by olfaction, that good ol’ sense of smell. So, when selecting perfumes to gift, keep that in mind. If you are unsure of scents that appeal to the recipient of the gift, play it safe. Err on the side of caution and opt for softer smells like fruit, citrus or floral over woody, spicy, or outdoors.
To make it even easier, BLACK ENTERPRISE has found eight Black-owned fragrance brands for perfume lovers to indulge.
1.) Brown Girl Jane
Brown Girl Jane was founded by Malaika Jones, Tai Beauchamp, and Nia Jones who came together to produce fine fragrances that are distinctively different from traditional perfumes. To get a whiff of multiple scents, check out the Discovery set that comes with these six mini sprays: Bahia, Casablanca, Lamu, Dawn, Dusk, and Dare.
2.) Aromatic Perfume Oils
This perfume brand boasts a “extensive knowledge of the fragrance industry,” and offers a range of information about scents and the benefits of using perfume. The company’s featured scents are Opulence, Confidence, and Magnificence.
3.) Fenty
This perfume speaks for itself and not because of its hype girl and creator Rihanna, but because of its deep floral fragrance and statement bottle.
4.) Savoir Faire
Peep the packaging on the Signature fragrance from Savoir Faire. It is absolutely gorgeous. This brand puts a refreshing spin on fine fragrance, bringing creativity and curiosity to its scents. Do explore the Whiskey Rose, LoveSuede, Sin, Santo, and Sage, Ascension, and Soul Cafe.

Texas-based Pink Mahogany, founded in 2005, has a plethora of scents that would would be pleasing to anyone’s senses
