Causes we care about?
At ALALELA, luxury is more than a scent—it’s a responsibility. Every fragrance tells a story, and every purchase contributes to causes that reflect our deepest values: environmental preservation and women’s empowerment.
Heritage & Culture
We honor the richness of African ancestry and the artisanal traditions of Grasse perfumery. Each scent tells a story, weaving memories, culture, and craftsmanship into every creation. ALALELA is a celebration of identity, a tribute to ancestry, and a platform to preserve and share timeless traditions.
Sustainability & Ethical Luxury
Our philosophy extends beyond fragrance. We encourage slow living, intentional choices, and sensory mindfulness. Each candle, diffuser, and home scent is crafted to transform spaces into sanctuaries, offering moments of calm, reflection, and joy in everyday life.
Quality & Craftsmanship
We care about excellence. Every product is handcrafted with precision, blending the finest natural ingredients with artisanal skill. From scent formulation to packaging design, we ensure that every detail reflects elegance, durability, and thoughtful creation.
Mindful & Intentional Living
Our luxury is mindful. We care deeply about the environment, choosing vegan, eco-friendly ingredients, recyclable and reusable packaging, and responsible sourcing. Every product is designed to minimize impact while delivering sensory delight. Sustainability is not a trend—it’s our way of creating beauty that lasts, for today and tomorrow.
Empowerment & Community
NYOKI: Protecting Biodiversity
Why Save the Leopard?
The NYOKI, or leopard in Lingala, is more than an emblem for ALALELA. It represents strength, elegance, and African heritage—values at the heart of our brand. Across many African cultures, the leopard symbolizes royalty, wisdom, and distinction, historically worn by tribal leaders as a mark of honor.
Today, these majestic creatures are critically endangered, threatened by deforestation, poaching, and habitat loss.
At ALALELA, we take action. A portion of our revenue supports PARC DE CONKOUATI-DOULI in Congo, helping protect leopards and their fragile ecosystems.
🌿 Preserving nature is preserving heritage—and securing a future where both can thrive.
