Our Story
The Brand
Welcome to Ganiyu Fragrance. Fragrance directly affects one's mood, stress and cognitive functions. GANIYU fragrance was created out of a need to set the tone for not only the day but for life’s experiences. Too often we are rushed into existing whether it’s because of our family or work life but GANIYU fragrance is designed for you to take a minute for yourself so that you can always strive to show up as your best. The meaning of GANIYU is wealthy and self-sufficient so think of our product as a self reflection in a bottle.
Â
 Our premier fragrance Onto You is our gift to you. We designed it with you in mind from the highest quality ingredients to notes such as ylang ylang which is used to attain relaxation and combat feelings of anxiety. Onto You isn’t a beast mode fragrance. We would describe it as delicate so that it gives you the power to decide how to best show up.
