My Story
My name is Kene Egolum, I grew up in Africa with a heart full of art and music. While other kids played outside, I stayed in sketching faces I had never seen and humming songs I hadn’t learned, but somehow knew. Creating felt like breathing to me. But in a world where survival came first, creativity was a luxury. My family, like many, couldn’t afford to chase dreams. Art and music were called “hobbies”—not paths. Not futures.
I never stopped loving them, though. Even when doors closed, even when the noise of life drowned out the melodies in my head, I carried them quietly with me. They became my secret world.
Years later, I realized I didn’t need a stage to sing or a gallery to paint or speak. I could bottle the emotion instead—every note, every color, every memory—and share it in the form of scent. That’s how this perfume was born. Not just as a fragrance, but as a vessel for all the stories that were never told, all the songs that were never sung and paintings that were never completed.
This brand is for every creative who’s ever felt unseen. For those who had to choose silence over expression. For those whose dreams were paused but never erased.
This is my story. Maybe it’s yours too.
How it Began
When I first arrived in a new country, I had nothing but a suitcase and a mind full of restless dreams. No family. No friends. No familiar faces to turn to. Night after night, I lay awake in the dark, listening only to the sound of my own thoughts—thoughts that told me I was meant for more, that I couldn’t let my story end in silence.
There were nights I wanted to give up. Nights when the loneliness felt heavier than anything I had ever carried. But deep inside, a quiet voice kept whispering: Let the world know who you are. Show them what you have become.
And then one night, it happened. In the stillness, I heard it clearly, almost like someone was right there beside me: It is time.
That was the moment my brand was born—not from comfort, but from courage. From the decision to turn all the invisible parts of me into something real. Into something you could hold, feel, and remember. Every bottle carries that journey—the loneliness, the hope, the faith that even in the darkest moments, something beautiful can rise.
This is more than a brand.
This is the sound of a dream waking up.
