Beyond luxury, the lifestyle of smelling good is on the top list of daily healthy living, and all around the world, men and women who understand the added value and impact of this way of life prioritise the niche perfume industry.

Putting Africa on the global map of regions that live a comprehensive serene lifestyle through niche perfumes is Olaseinde Olufemi Olusola, one of Africa’s most accomplished fragrance collectors and entrepreneurs, the Founder of Seinde Signature, Nigeria’s cathedral of niche fragrances.

With his brand being ranked as the fastest-growing fragrance networks on the continent, Seinde Signature boss brings this to the fore with the recent unveiling of its Lagos Senbar, where lifestyle enthusiasts can experience fragrances through taste, with custom cocktails tailored to match fragrance. The breathtaking Seinde Signature Senbar branch in Lagos situated on the 6th floor of the exclusive Ikoyi Plaza, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi is a landmark lifestyle destination designed to redefine the retail experience for lovers of beauty, elegance, and distinction.

The latest masterpiece follows the resounding success of the celebrated Abuja Senbar, whose opening at Jabi Lake Mall captivated fragrance enthusiasts and luxury seekers alike. Now, Lagos welcomes the send chapter of this visionary concept, crafted with even more grandeur, refinement and immersive sophistication.

The Lagos Senbar is a remarkable fusion of a world-class fragrance showroom and an upscale drinks bar, a first-of-its-kind sensory experience in Nigeria. Here, luxury perfumes meet bespoke mixology, allowing guests to discover fragrances not only through scent, but also through taste, with custom cocktails inspired by the perfumes housed within the boutique. This bold and elegant innovation reflects the relentless creativity that has become synonymous with the Seinde Signature brand.

When asked the ideology behind Senbar? Olusola said: “The great thing about perfume is experience. You don’t really have to tell anybody so much about a perfume. More often than not you don’t have to say anything, they just have to experience it – once you smell it, then you want it. So the idea of Senbar is for people to come in and drink, and while doing that you do a round of perfume testing and you’re captivated. Our best-selling store is at the airport, where people are just traveling. They don’t intend to buy perfume but once they smell it, they still buy it anyway.

“The idea of the Senbar is for people to come in, have a drink and experience the fragrances. However, with the drinks, we are not doing the regulars you have in most of the bars around. We realised that most of the perfumes are made with edible stuff such as cherry, vanilla, bergamot etc. Most of the things we use to make perfume are actually edible. So, we came up with the idea of creating drinks around the perfume.

“So you may want to come up here and rather than just buy perfume, we have you taste the perfumes by creating a drink for you to match the perfume. So for us, it gears up your interest to use the perfume. So in other words, we created a situation where you can taste your smell.

The brand proudly curates over 40 of the finest niche fragrance houses in the world, offering discerning clientele access to exceptional creations from globally celebrated names such as Electimuss, Clive Christian, Pana Dora Sweden, Sospiro, Christian Provenzano, and Sarah Baker, among others. Beyond retail, Seinde Signature has become renowned for staging Nigeria’s most talked-about fragrance launches and experiences, further cementing its place as a global reference point in luxury perfumery. Its branches, often located in elite destinations, function as private sanctuaries for connoisseurs, spaces where excellence, exclusivity, and artistry converge.
