Behind The Beauty: Teri Johnson Is Celebrating Black Icons Through Harlem Perfume Co.
Akili King
In honor of Women’s History Month, Johnson discusses her journey as a founder, biggest inspirations, and much more.
Harlem Candle Co. and Harlem Perfume Co. founder Teri Johnson is more than a beauty brand owner. She’s a historian, an archivist, and a storyteller. How, you might ask? Every single one of her scents is an ode to a prominent Black icon, mostly from the Harlem Renaissance era. Think: everyone from Josephine Baker to Billie Holiday.
