The Inspiration

Black is gold.

Black Excellence is a tribute to Black culture, history and artistry, and to the story of Africa itself. It carries the resilience of Black people through the transatlantic slave trade, the heritage of Ghana’s Gold Coast, and the legacy of the Big Six who shaped the 1957 independence that inspired a continent. It is a celebration of struggle, freedom and the achievement that followed.

Crafted with real 18k gold dust, agarwood and ambergris and hand-finished in Accra, it is housed in a box of rare African blackwood, made as much to be kept as to be worn. More than a scent, it is a modern artifact affirming a simple truth: Black is gold.

Maison Yusif’s fragrances are truly one of a kind. I was honored to try a sample directly from the source and i was astonished by the quality and strength of the fragrance! I own Supernova and Black Excellence 🔥👌🏼. The smell of both are phenomenal and even one spray will stay on your clothes for days upon a time! The colognes are truly worth the purchase and you will not be disappointed. This brand will make it very far!

The Perfumer

Why I made this

I made Black Excellence as a tribute, to my people, our history and everything we have carried and built. That is why it holds real gold, agarwood and ambergris, and sits in a box of African blackwood: nothing about it should feel small. I wanted an object worthy of the story. Wear it as a reminder that Black is, and always was, gold.
