WELCOME TO

THE PERFUMERY LTD

OUR STORY

It began with a drive to Cotonou.

Returning to Nigeria in 1986, our founder was captivated by the fragrances shown on the pages of Vogue — yet finding them at home was near impossible. Each new launch meant a drive across the border to Cotonou.

It made little sense that a country as well-travelled as Nigeria had no dedicated house for fine fragrance. On the 17th September 1994, Perfumery Limited opened as Nigeria’s first-ever retail perfume store.
