In just a space of 2 years, Adewale Aladejana started Sappire Scents, a wholesale and retail company that sells rare fragrance like Oud, Frankincense and Myrrh with just N30,000 and has been able to transform the investment into a multimillion Naira company. He has also produced many young millionaires through his company’s distributorship partnership with young Nigerians who have signed on as distributors to his company. As at today, the company has 160 distributors covering 19 states of Nigeria, UK, US, Ghana, Cameroon etc. As a result of high demand for his products, the company is currently seeking investors who are willing to invest in the company with the promise of high return in the investment.
Here is a happy birthday note from the master perfumer himself:
I remember August 24, 2015 just like yesterday, I woke up that morning and I had no idea that my life was about to change forever. The day before was a Sunday and I had seen Baba (Rev Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of The Commonwealth of Zion Assembly) in church and I told him about what God was doing at Sapphire Scents and how I had made a million naira in 3 months. I came to him with a seed of N10,000 because I had just made my first sale on Konga (for me the first is always a seed).
Baba looked at me and said "Wale come and see me tomorrow" I was excited throughout that day and the next because Baba wanted to talk to me, people of his calibre don't waste their time, I felt very special that he was creating time for me.
I was at the church office early and I waited for him and after a while he came in wearing a black t shirt, black jeans and Versace sneakers (I am still looking for that exact Versace sneakers). We sat down at the office lounge and he began to give me ideas, he told me that if I did my homework well my clients would be the cream of the society.
Then he said "Wale how can you be selling only 2 types of perfumes and you are selling everyday it's either people like you a lot or there is something on you but this is what I want you to do, I want you to travel to the Middle East, make good deals with manufacturers and start bringing these perfumes in cargoes"
At that point I looked at him like he didn't know this would cost a lot of money and then he said " what name do you collect money with at the bank?" I told him and then he brought out his cheque book and started writing.
Ladies and gentlemen if someone wanted to give me money I always peg it at 100k max there is something wrong with you if you are expecting someome to give you more than that when you are not selling anything to them. He handed me the cheque and for a minute I went blank, it was ONE MILLION NAIRA! I just prostated face down. He just smiled and said to me " Wale this is nothing, let me pray for you" and then he said "Wale this money will not finish, go and explode and takeover!" Before then the Sapphire account had gone dormant TWICE but since that day that account has not lacked millions!
It's been two years since that day and that money has not finished, we have become the FOWOSERE OF AFRICA at Sapphire Scents!
Baba I just want to thank God for you and for believing in us, we are going global and we will do you proud in Jesus name.
