In a landmark moment for West African perfumery, Maison Yusif Fragrance has been officially awarded and recognised as the Best Fragrance House from Africa for 2025 by the internationally respected Top 100 Businesses, headquartered across Paris, Spain, New York, and England.
This prestigious recognition positions Maison Yusif Fragrance as the first niche and artisan perfume house from West Africa to receive this distinguished honour within the global fragrance category. It is an achievement that marks a historic milestone not only for the brand but also for African perfumery as a whole.
Founded by Yusif Meizongo Jnr, the first certified perfumer from Ghana, Maison Yusif has become synonymous with artistry, innovation, and authentic cultural storytelling. By transforming Ghana’s indigenous botanicals, such as prekese, cloves, neem, cocoa leaves, shea, and lemongrass, into world-class olfactory compositions, the brand has redefined what African luxury perfumery represents.
Maison Yusif’s recognition by Top 100 Businesses reflects its global impact, creative excellence, and consistent commitment to quality, as well as its growing influence across international markets. For a brand that began with a vision to elevate Ghanaian craftsmanship to the world, this award is a powerful validation of its mission.
As Maison Yusif Fragrance continues to expand across continents, this accolade stands as a symbol of pride for Ghana and the entire African fragrance community—proof that artistry born in Africa can stand confidently among the best in the world.
