Who We Are
ABYAZ is a Somali fragrance manufacturing and customization company creating premium fragrance products locally in Somalia.
Our work is inspired by one of Somalia's most treasured natural resources — frankincense — Frankincense (Somali Luban) — while also working with carefully selected perfume oils, perfume oils and fragrance ingredients from around the world.
At ABYAZ, we believe Somalia should not only export its finest natural resources as raw materials. We believe value can be created here at home. From our workshop in Mogadishu, we transform fragrance ingredients into a diverse range of finished products for individuals, businesses, events and institutions.
What We Do
Six core capabilities take ABYAZ from a raw Somali natural resource to a finished, branded fragrance product.
Somali Frankincense Fragrance
We develop fragrances that capture the distinctive character of Frankincense (Somali Luban), turning a traditional Somali resource into modern, premium fragrance products.
Fragrance Manufacturing
We locally produce fragrance products for individuals, businesses, offices, hotels, events and institutions — from personal perfumes to large-scale ambient solutions.
Customized Perfumes
Your scent. Your identity. Your story. We develop a fragrance inspired by a scent profile you love, or create your own signature fragrance with you.
Perfume Oil & Fragrance Innovation
We combine Somali natural ingredients with selected perfume and fragrance oils to develop distinctive profiles — from Somali-inspired to contemporary international scents.

From Somali Frankincense to Value-Added Fragrance
For generations, Somali frankincense has travelled beyond our borders as a raw natural resource. ABYAZ is building a different path — by processing, developing and manufacturing fragrance products locally, we keep more of that value inside Somalia.
Vision & Mission
Our Vision
To become Africa's leading fragrance company inspired by Somali natural heritage, creating globally recognized fragrance products made in Somalia — where our resources are not only exported as raw materials, but transformed into high-value products and sustainable opportunities.
Our Mission
To transform Somalia's natural fragrance resources into innovative, high-quality and accessible fragrance products through local manufacturing, creativity and value addition.
Our Core Values
Eight principles guide how we create, manufacture and work with our customers and partners.
We are proud of the natural resources, traditions and fragrance heritage of Somalia.
Natural resources should create greater value before they leave the country.
Consistency, craftsmanship and continuous improvement in everything we create.
We combine tradition with modern fragrance technology, creativity and new ideas.
Every fragrance should have a purpose, a personality and a customer behind it.
We build our relationships with honesty, transparency and responsibility.
Manufacturing locally creates skills, employment and economic opportunity.
We are Somali in our roots, but global in our ambition.
Our Story
Somalia is home to some of the world's finest frankincense. For generations, this precious natural resource has travelled from Somalia to markets around the world, often leaving the country as a raw material. ABYAZ was created to change the story. We asked a simple question:
Frankincense (Somali Luban), treasured for generations.
Why export only the raw resource?
Local processing and formulation in Mogadishu.
Perfumes, uunsi, diffusers and more — made in Somalia.
