Mix Your Own Signature Scent: Inside Ebony's Beauty and Its Perfume Body Oil Bar on Moss Street
A Lafayette Brand Built One Batch at a Time
Some of the best stories in Acadiana start with somebody noticing something missing. For Ebony Robert, a Lafayette entrepreneur, former educator and nonprofit founder, it was beauty products that respected textured hair, diverse skin tones and the desire for real self-care without sacrificing quality. What began as a personal passion is now Ebony's Beauty Hair & Skin Care, a full beauty brand with a storefront at 1937 Moss Street in Lafayette and an online shop that ships nationwide.
Ebony is a wife and mother of five sons, and her business journey blends local manufacturing, creativity and community service. Every product is made in small batches right here in Louisiana, which keeps the attention on formulation, freshness, scent and texture. It is the same maker-first approach you find across Acadiana, from family kitchens to candy makers.
The Perfume Body Oil Bar
The newest reason to visit the Moss Street storefront is the Perfume Body Oil Bar, where customers can create their own body oils and roll-on fragrances. Instead of settling for whatever scent the big brands decided to mass-produce this season, you build your own: pick your notes, blend your signature, and leave with something that is genuinely yours.
The bar sits alongside the rest of the shop's handcrafted lineup: whipped body butters, perfume oils, skincare and facial care, hair care for every texture from straight to coily, men's grooming, kids' hair and skin care, and giftable self-care bundles. Scents run the full range, from sweet and gourmand to floral, fruity, fresh and clean, warm amber and musk, and men's scents. The bestselling A Million Wishes hydrating luxury body oil has a devoted following, and the Find Your Scent section of the online shop makes it easy to shop by the notes you already love.
With the holidays coming, it is easy to see the draw. A custom-blended fragrance is the kind of gift that cannot be bought at a big-box register, and it comes with a story attached: blended in Lafayette, by hand, for someone you know.
Made in Lafayette, Shipped Everywhere
The storefront is the heart of the business, but the reach goes well beyond Moss Street. Select Ebony's Beauty products are now available through Walmart, Amazon and DoorDash alongside the brand's own online store, a milestone for a small-batch Louisiana maker. Online orders can also be picked up at the store, usually ready in two to four days.
