Scent of Africa, a luxury fragrance house made in Ghana and among the first to emerge from Africa, expands its award-winning Eternal Legends Collection with two new eaux de parfum inspired by Akan mythology.
The new fragrances, Anancy and Assaye, were first unveiled exclusively at the Glitz Africa Women’s CEO Summit and Woman of the Year Honours 2026, held at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
Following this magnificent reveal, the brand celebrated the release in-store in partnership with Scentopia, one of Ghana’s leading premium fragrance retailers, at its flagship store in Accra Mall.
Anancy and Assaye tell the story of Asaase Yaa, the Earth goddess, and Anancy, the beloved storyteller of Ghanaian and Caribbean folklore. Together, they represent the dual forces of nurture and creativity, of roots and reinvention — values that sit at the very heart of Scent of Africa’s philosophy.
ANANCY (For Him)
A tribute to Anansi, the storyteller god of Ghanaian folklore, creative spider, celebrated traditionally for his cleverness, charm, and cultural ingenuity, Anancy is a spicy woody fragrance with an unforgettable trail.
It opens with Guatemalan cardamom and Italian bergamot, deepens through a creamy heart of Moroccan iris, Australian sandalwood, and musky ambrette, and settles into a rich base of Atlas cedar, Madagascan vetiver, Somali frankincense, and vanilla.
“This is a fragrance of majesty: powerful yet nuanced, instantly attractive through its creaminess, reassuring yet sensual. Through African ingredients blended with other influences, I wanted to pay tribute to a deep and welcoming land.”— Dominique Preyssas, Perfumer
