Out of all these fragrances, you support a Black perfumer. Black Perfumers are rare to be seen in the fragrance industry. It was a struggle for us to find Black Owned Perfume Brands. They are out there but, not enough. The industry makes it harder to enter into the class prices to the materials costs. We hope you enjoy these brands as much as we do and continue supporting them. 

Update: November 25, 2022 TBS Team has updated this article to remove the brand, Nick Ricardo Collection, as the brand has unfortunately closed down after the pandemic. In this article, we have included three new brands to the list.
