Courtesy of ESSENCE By India Espy-Jones · Updated March 14, 2026 Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… Yesterday, Los Angeles’ Fairmont Century Plaza was illuminated with the guests and honorees at ESSENCE 19th Annual Black Women in Hollywood Awards . While the blue carpet turned into a conversation about reclaiming the film and television industry, inside the awards, an exclusive gift bag full of fresh beauty launches was left under the seats of each celebrity. The sillage of fragrance—like Mugler’s Alien Pulp , Alloy Studio’s Luster , and MCM’s Daring Dragon —spilled out of the custom Sarep + Rose tote bag in which they were housed. But, that wasn’t all they were smelling. A Nourishing Body Oil from Brown Sugar Babe and a Sage Water Oil Body Cleanser are the perfect base to layer the fragrances over.
