WHO WE ARE
About MAPAON
Let’s be real—luxury today is often just a logo slapped on a boring bottle, destined for the trash once the hype dies down. I was tired of it. Tired of seeing “luxury” brands that don’t give a damn about design or quality, and I knew you were too. So, I decided to do something different. Something better. Something that truly elevates the experience of wearing perfume.
At MAPAON, I don’t just want you to buy a bottle—I want you to *own* a piece of art. Every MAPAON perfume bottle is a statement, designed to be as beautiful as the fragrance inside. These aren’t just things you throw out; they’re treasures you want to keep, something you’ll proudly display on your vanity. Why settle for a basic glass bottle when you can have a masterpiece?
And don’t even get me started on the scents you’re usually offered. Honey and vanilla? Please. That’s so yesterday. I wanted to give you something daring, something intricate—scents that are delicate yet bold, so unique they’ll stop people in their tracks. And I didn’t stop there. Hair fragrance shouldn’t damage your locks, and yet somehow, that’s the norm. Not on my watch. MAPAON perfumes are alcohol-free and packed with hair-loving protein, so you can smell amazing without sacrificing your hair’s health.
WHY CHOOSE US
THE FOUNDER
Isabelle was raised by a blind Haitian mother who loved her more than anyone could ever love a flower—clothing them every day, only for them to burn in the sun. Her mother taught her that imagining is a waste of time because life has more to offer than we can even imagine. With that foundation, Isabelle’s life at 26 is one that seems destined, as if pre-written.
Isabelle’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Growing up in Little Haiti, Miami, she stood out as one of the brightest students at her elementary school, constantly pushing the boundaries of what was expected. At just 14, she was accepted into the top Mega Magnet High School in the U.S., where she endured a grueling 4-hour daily commute, waking up at 4 a.m. every day for four years. By 22, she graduated from Spelman College, the #1 HBCU, with over 3,000 hours of community service and 9 internships under her belt, all while navigating the devastating losses of her mother and sister. At 25, Isabelle earned her degree from ESCP Business School in France, one of the world’s most prestigious business schools with an acceptance rate of only 10%. Despite the profound grief of losing her father during her first week, she graduated with a 3.7 GPA after completing 44 courses in 4 semesters and securing internships at top global banks.
Isabelle’s motto in life is simple: “The problem with Murphy’s Law is that a Haitian mother will cancel it. And her law would say, ‘Met Famn Sou Ou,’” which roughly translates to “Be your own strong woman.
