Over 60 Bottles Deep: A Lagos Photographer’s Passion for Perfume
Leye Ojeniyi is a Lagos-based visual storyteller whose love for fragrance began with bottles gifted by his brother and grew into a collection of over 60 scents. He recalls how a single bottle sparked his fraghead obsession and how he once spent ₦100,000 from his savings on Stronger With You. He also shares his top picks, from Amouage Purpose to Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka, and explains why “beast mode” perfumes aren’t always impressive. Leye busts the myth that higher price means better quality and reveals his dream scent: a perfume capturing the quiet thrill of opening a new book, which he’d call First Chapter.
