THE START OF TUSKANOCIA
With over 30 years of experience in the retail industry, our founder, Richard Owen-Thomas, decided he wanted to use his extensive knowledge to fulfill his dream of leaving a legacy for his family and pushing for a more sustainable society. In partnership with his son, the two created a family-run brand that aims to create more sustainable, locally produced fragrance products.
This was the birth of Tuskanocia, an eco-friendly, non-toxic fragrance brand.
WHERE ARE WE NOW?
After spending two years researching and diving into the depths of fragrance blends, we carefully curated 18 unique fragrances from which we finally selected our first product to launch with — Evocative.
This vanilla, floral-based fragrance is a one-of-a-kind blend that evokes sophistication and a breath of fresh air.

ONE TREE PLANTED
As we continuously work towards reducing our eco-footprint, we are committed to planting a tree for every product we sell, in partnership with One Tree Planted.

PROGRESSION & SUSTAINABILITY
We strive to minimize our environmental impact through our production and packaging processes to create high-quality, natural fragrances that our customers love and trust.
WHAT WE GOT RIGHT?
We're in love with Evocative’s aroma and we hope you are too. We use sustainably sourced sugar-cane ethanol, non-allergenic ingredients, and vegetable oil as a more ethical alternative to palm oil. It’s no secret that sustainable sourcing can be hard work, and we are proud of the integrity of our product.
WHAT WE BELIVE NEEDS WORK?
We love the influence of our African roots in our ingredients and design, however, we are committed to achieving an even more sustainable bottle and box packaging. In our next release, we aim to make our box makeup 100% recyclable and reduce our plastic use as much as possible. If you have any feedback or contacts for sustainable product packaging, please reach out, we would love your feedback.
WHERE TO NEXT?
With our successful launch of Evocative, we are in the process of increasing our product range to include a broader range of fragrances.
As proud South Africans, we strive towards consolidating our production process in South Africa. We hope to grow the brand with deep local roots so that we can create local jobs and provide an eco-conscious fragrance alternative for our communities.
With every new release, we aim to become more local, reduce our environmental impact, and provide a top-quality product to consumers who share these same values (and have a good nose for well-balanced fragrances).
