The Birth
Tsavorite Home fragrance was birthed in the home of the founder, Nkechi Alikor. Though an avid lover of home fragrance, her venture into the business of home fragrance was by chance.
Having struggled with the quality of mass produced and mass imported home fragrance that dominated the Nigerian Market, she eventually stumbled on an indigenous brand and was inspired to start her own indigenous line of luxury candles and diffusers and contribute her own quota to changing the narrative of the country’s home fragrance industry. This idea was conceived in September 2017 and was finally birthed in the summer of 2018.
The name Tsavorite pronounced “Say Vo rite” was inspired by the precious stone. A rare gemstone from the Garnet family with its origin in Africa specifically Kenya and Tanzania. The stone represents prosperity and abundance and although it’ is not very well known being a new entrant into the Jewelry market, like the brand, its inestimable value is not in dispute.
