About Black Owned Fragrance Company
Angelo Austin is the founder and owner of Preeminence, a passionate soul who has dedicated his entire life to the art of perfumery.
The journey to establishing Preeminence began way before the first product, which is Orgasm Perfume, was created.
It started during Angelo Austin’s early years when he was infatuated with scents due to his mothers and sisters. He was surrounded with aromatic fragrances his mom and sisters collected and it was only natural that as he grew up, he would gravitate towards scents and perfumes as well.
In his dating years, he would always purchase perfume for women he dated, manifesting his love for fragrances. He would always spend his spare time in big brand stores where he was attracted to the beautiful packaging but would get discouraged by the amount of work that goes into producing the products
He had ideas for fragrances but was hesitant in manufacturing perfume due to serious competition in the market by these big brand corporations, but he took the risk anyway.
After sitting on his ideas for 6 years, he finally began his perfumery journey. He wanted to have his perfumes manufactured but discovered that the process of manufacturing by a big factory was extremely expensive. And so, Angelo decided to make perfumes himself in small batches. During this time, he was also in school studying for a degree in science but would research with chemists to formulate his first product.
For a whole 6 to 7 months, Angelo experimented with different formulas to arrive at his first completed project, which was Orgasm Perfume. After creating his first fragrance, Angelo continued to make complete lines, and thus, Preeminence was born.
In 2019, Angelo wanted to improve his skills in the art of fragrance making and how to make them last for as long as possible. So he went to Paris to do an apprenticeship course at the Musee du Parfum Fragonard. Today, Angelo continues to hone his craft and operate Preeminence with his team, producing small batches of scents and fragrances.
