Brand «Mosaic»

Mosaic — a perfume brand of the American fashion designer of Nigerian origin, Ugo Mozi. Mozi released his first clothing line in 2009 at the age of 18. In 2014, the young designer became the PR director for Vivienne Westwood, and currently focuses on developing the fashion industry in African countries while continuing to work on his own collections. His clients include Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, and Celine Dion.

The main perfume work by Mosaic to date is the eponymous fragrance, launched in 2017. It is a woody composition that unfolds with notes of vanilla, sandalwood, cedar, musk, and oud. In search of the fragrance concept, Mozi traveled through Egypt, Morocco, and Nigeria, studying the history of royal dynasties in the northern and western regions of the continent, their lifestyle and culture — thus the image of ancient, rich Africa is reflected both in the composition itself and in the bottle design.

Mozi lives in Los Angeles and, in addition to working on his own brands, actively engages in charity: he sponsors the human rights association AAUW, which advocates for the protection of African women's labor, and donates part of the profits from Mosaic sales to them. He is also the founder of WANA, a non-profit organization that supports young African designers.
