GLM TEAM 
A young and determined entrepreneur from Diepkloof Soweto is making waves in the beauty and home care industry with her innovative fragrance and detergent brand, Peyola Fragrances. Founded just three years ago, the brand has quickly earned recognition for its unique, high-quality products designed to enhance everyday living.
Peyola Fragrances offers a range of premium perfumes and home care products, including detergents and air fresheners, that are designed to bring luxury, elegance, and fresh, uplifting scents into people’s homes. What sets Peyola apart is not just the exceptional quality of the products, but also the story behind the brand’s creation.
The founder, Yolanda Qupe, a passionate 29-year-old businesswoman, credits her inspiration for launching Peyola Fragrances to her experience working as a sales lady for a perfume brand. It was during this time that she developed a deep appreciation for fragrance design, product quality, and the potential for creating an authentic brand that could resonate with local and international markets.
“My journey began with a simple love for fragrances,” says Yolanda Qupe “While working in retail, I realized there was a gap in the market for high-quality, locally-produced scents and home care products that were affordable and spoke to the aspirations of everyday South Africans. I knew I had to do something to bring that vision to life.”
Starting out with minimal resources, Yolanda managed to turn her passion into a full-fledged business. With perseverance and a strong commitment to quality, Peyola Fragrances has grown from a small home-based operation into a successful enterprise with a loyal customer base. The brand’s range of fragrances, each formulated with attention to detail, has captured the hearts of consumers looking for long-lasting, elegant scents at an affordable price point.
In addition to perfumes, Peyola also manufactures a selection of eco-friendly and high-performance home care products, including laundry detergents, all infused with signature scents that elevate the cleaning experience. These products not only help to maintain a fresh and clean home, but they also promote a sense of luxury in everyday living.
“Being from Diepkloof Soweto, I wanted to create something that could inspire other young people in my community,” Yolanda says. “I want my story to show that no dream is too big and no challenge is insurmountable if you’re passionate and dedicated to your vision.”
Peyola Fragrances’ success is a testament to the power of hard work, creativity, and believing in one’s dreams. Yolanda hopes to inspire other young entrepreneurs from underserved communities to take the leap into business ownership and to challenge the status quo in the South African business landscape.
