Award-winning perfumer and scent creator, Catherine Tope Omai, has officially announced the launch of her new fragrance line, ‘Contagious’. After honing her craft internationally, Omai has brought her expertise home with the introduction of three captivating scents under the Contagious brand: Contagious Gold, Contagious Rose, and Contagious Green. Omai’s journey to becoming a renowned perfumer was not without its challenges.
Despite facing initial skepticism and resistance in the Nigerian market, her determination and talent propelled her to success. Through years of hard work and perseverance, she built a loyal clientele and established her brand as a symbol of luxury and sophistication. “When I came back from the UK to Nigeria, I met a lot of resistance,” Omai shared at the launch event.
“People questioned my ability to compete in the market and build a successful perfume brand. But I was determined to prove them wrong.” Omai’s dedication to creating unique and high-quality fragrances is evident in the Contagious line.
These exquisite scents are already making waves globally, with stockists in prestigious locations such as Saks Fifth Avenue in the USA and Royal Oud Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. In Nigeria, the exclusive retailer for the Contagious range is Seinde Signature Salon de Parfum. Beyond her fragrance line, Omai has also expanded her offerings to include diffusers and candles, which have garnered rave reviews.
