Our Story

At Koroma, we believe every scent tells a story. Born from a love of authenticity and a commitment to self-expression, our brand draws deep inspiration from rich Liberian roots & the vibrant culture of Harlem —a place where artistry, fashion, and music converge influence the world.

Our fragrances are more than just scents; they are a bridge connecting diverse voices and experiences. We amplify creativity, celebrate heritage, and shine a light on underrepresented communities.

James’s grandfather, Aloysius Koroma, fled Liberia during the civil war after ensuring his children’s safe passage to America. Navigating the chaos, he migrated through Sierra Leone, Mali, Nigeria, and Ghana, holding tightly to his fragrant aspirations. In 2005, he finally reunited with his family in the U.S., where his five-year-old grandson, James, eagerly awaited him.

Young James often shadowed his grandfather, watching him craft fragrances to send back to Liberia. Those cherished moments planted the seeds of inspiration that would one day bloom into Koroma's Aromas.

"Fragrance is personal and subjective, yet the industry clings to outdated gendered marketing. “Unisex” products often reinforce stereotypes instead of offering true versatility.

 

Koroma challenges this by creating scents that transcend gender, empowering individuals to choose fragrances based on personal preference, not societal norms. We invite everyone to explore self-expression and celebrate individuality—beyond labels."
