If we’re being honest, our perfume collections have been collecting dust over the past few months. Despite fragrance being personal and worn for oneself, there’s just not always much motivation to spritz just to sit on the couch.
Perhaps the best way to get back into a perfume practice is by introducing a new scent. These eight fragrances from Black-owned brands are a perfect place to start.
With a range of prices and with fragrance notes like vanilla, sandalwood, lavender and even marshmallow, there is a summer scent for everyone.
