#rich mess

I may be a perfume blog, but that doesn’t mean I can’t affect change.

I’ve gone through and collected a list of black-owned fragrances and fragrance stores (the stores component can likely be fleshed out more, please DM me for inclusion on the list!). This list is Western-market centric, and certainly does not represent any brands outside of North America/Europe; the reason for this is that I could not find mention of black fragrance brands outside of these regions (again, would love to have more representation here).

What’s more - if they offer (reasonably priced - your beloved author is not a person of inordinate amounts of wealth) samples yours truly will buy them and review them!

You, like me, might be thinking: “Gee, there seem to be a dearth of black perfumers!”

~It’s unfortunately true, from my research~
