The Scented Saga of MYOP’s 50-Store Journey

From a Cabin in Calicut to the Shores of Mauritius

Did it start with just a perfume? Not quite. It began with the belief that fragrance could be personal, not prescribed. In a quiet corner of Calicut, we started our journey. We offered emotion, memory, and meaning, gently sealed in a bottle you could hold close to your heart. And as more hearts discovered their story in our bottles, that soft beginning echoed louder into a movement defined by identity, feeling, and the freedom to smell like you.

In 2017, inside a small cabin at Focus Mall, Calicut, Make Your Own Perfume began—not as a business, but as a rebellion. Against generic scents. Against sameness. We weren’t building shelves. We were bottling stories.

Every bottle began as an experiment. Every blend, a signature waiting to be found. What started with passion and handpicked oils grew fast. Because people didn’t just notice. They felt at home. It wasn’t just a counter. It was a movement. More than a counter. It was a revolution.

Fast forward to today... and here we are: 50 stores strong – Mauritius 

Yes, the turquoise paradise across the ocean. That’s where our 50th store opened — a place where island breezes now carry the essence of MYOP.

When we first imagined going international, Mauritius wasn't a number on a map. It was a dream in the air. But when we landed there, something beautiful happened.

What we get to see in Mauritius are people walking into our store with stories. With curiosity and leaving with perfume bottles etched with emotion.

Today, we can proudly say: ‘We didn’t just launch in Mauritius. We built a little MYOP family there.’ And oh, they’re loving it.

So what’s next?

Honestly? We're just getting started.

The real joy isn’t in counting stores; it’s in the moments made inside them. The “Omg, this smells like my self-esteem”. Couples blending fusion scents. Friends gifting engraved memories. Refill regulars who’ve made MYOP part of their story.

Thank you for making us YOUR perfume.

If you’ve ever walked into a MYOP store, mixed a scent, gifted one, posted a story, or even stopped by just to smell—this milestone is yours too.

50 stores, 2 outlets in Mauritius, 25,000 refills, 50,000+ memories, 1 brand. And infinite stories waiting to be bottled.

Here’s to more cities, more hearts, and more perfume bars where stories are not just told, they’re worn.
