The Real H.U.

The Real H.U.

Class is back in session, and we are headed straight to Howard University.

Howard University is a historically black college and university (HBCU) located in Washington D.C. Since its founding in 1867, it has played a significant role in the education of African Americans and has produced many notable alumni who have made significant contributions to society. HBCUs have a significant place in American history, as they have played a vital role in providing education to African Americans, who were previously denied the freedom and access. Some of the most notable alumni of Howard University include: Kamala HarrisToni Morrison, Thurgood Marshall, Ta-Nehisi Coates, sisters Phylicia Rashad & Debbie Allen, Taraji P. Henson, and Andrew Young, amongst many more. 

We wanted to pay homage to the rich culture and illustrious history of one of the country's most illustrious HBCUs. This high-end scent captures the essence of black excellency in higher education with notes of smokey oud, smooth tonka, and leather books. Howard University's commitment to, "Truth & Service", academic excellence, social justice,  and community, is about more than just academic virtue. It’s also about being part of something bigger than yourself.
