ESSIES!
Father's Day is right around the corner. And while it's often the norm to wait until the last minute to buy your favorite father figure some socks, a tie, or something else super boring that he doesn't need (or make that want), get him something unique, and more importantly, something Black-owned. Check out a few of our picks from the new Father's Day Collection on We Love Us. From fragrances to body care, clothing and affirming jewelry, you can find something for all the good dads in your life.

Brittni Dixon is the brains (and beauty) behind Bobbie Miché, a luxury fragrance and body care brand that's named after her grandmother. She creates oil-based fragrances that nourishes the skin while also giving it an alluring scent. And there's a difference between an enchanting aroma and something that's suffocating. "So many fragrances don’t last or can feel too harsh on the senses. Our oil-based fragrances are long-lasting, gentle on the skin, and soft on your senses, so you can feel confident and get compliments all day," she says. "Our fragrance oils, body oils, and oil-based perfumes work together, allowing you to layer your body oil and fragrance to create your signature scent."
