The Story

As the sun sinks behind the vast dunes of the Sahara and shades of crimson color the sky, a palm-framed oasis awakens. Oil lamps flicker to life as vibrant carpets unfurl across golden sands. Wisps of oud fill the desert air. Ornate glasses overflow with ruby karkade. The night beckons, full of promise.

The House

Réserve en Afrique is a fragrance house based in Dakar, founded by Etienne and his wife Valeria. In 1934 Etienne’s grandfather arrived in Senegal, the same year a nearby forest became a protected reserve, and his family spent decades working on its conservation. Growing up, Etienne learned that scent was deeply tied to his experience of nature. The debut collection, Afrique Extraordinaire, celebrates African botanicals, from Madagascan vanilla and Somali opoponax to Nigerian ginger and Moroccan rose. The fragrances are PETA-listed vegan and cruelty-free, with a beetroot-derived alcohol base and upcycled ingredients. The house gives 5% of its profits to conservation nonprofits in Africa, including Nature Communautés Développement in Senegal and Madagasikara Voakajy in Madagascar.
