The Founder’s Desk is a living archive of thoughts & ideasa from Deola Abela Inyang, Founder of Abela® World Limited and Founder of the Abela® Centre for Olfactory Art.
Here, scent is explored not merely as fragrance, but as a language of memory, identity and cultural expression.
Through essays, reflections and cultural notes, the Founder’s Desk documents the thinking behind Abela® and the emerging field of Afro-Baroque Perfumery® while exploring broader questions of heritage, creativity, belonging and the future of African cultural institutions.
We remember who we are when we remember what we smell.
