Meet MOODEAUX

Since you've landed on this page, it's only right we start by saying thanks! With a world full of options, our small (but mighty) team is excited to have your attention and the opportunity to enhance the way you experience fragrance. Truth be told, MOODEAUX® was dreamt into existence by a rebellious, curious mind quite like yours who wondered, "What if scent and skin care could actually work together???" Finally, after years of asking questions, we've arrived. *tears* 

Made for the unapologetically outspoken rebel inside us all, MOODEAUX® believes self-expression is the best self-care. That's why our indie fragrance label helps you accessorize your mood through distinct, award-winning eau de parfums backed by science. Ditching tradition, founder Brianna Arps set out in October 2021 to introduce a new standard: longer-lasting, skin-nurturing, earth-friendly blends that give subpar scents, questionable ingredients and wasteful packaging the side eye.

Since then, MOODEAUX® has launched nationwide at clean beauty store Credo — pioneering as the first Black-owned perfume brand to hit shelves — appeared on the TODAY show and partnered with Sephora through the retailer's renowned Accelerate Program among other milestones. The biggest accomplishment we've had, however, is backing underrepresented entrepreneurs by way of our philanthropic arm Black In Fragrance™.

Black In Fragrance™ is building a global support network among industry professionals, consumers, buyers and media outlets, each who pledge to help level the playing field for Black perfumers. As its founding label, MOODEAUX® leads the effort, providing peer mentorship, community resources and occasional microgrants.
