About Us

 

The Brand:

Ganíyù means wealthy ~ wealth in culture, wealth in wellness, wealth in fragrance

Our mission is to modernize the way you elevate your mood and emotions by using fragrance to enrich experiences of the world around you. 

For Ganíyù, wealth is all around us; it’s in our culture (arts and traditions), in our wellness (how we honor our bodies, spirits + minds) and of course in our fragrances (a self reflection ina bottle) which enables us to choose how we would like to show up in our lives.
