From styling global icons like Stormzy, Tinie Tempah, and Jorja Smith to launching her own brand, Melissa Holdbrook-Akposoe has always understood the power of detail.
Now, she’s bringing that same precision and elegance into the home with Le Luxe, a perfume-infused laundry brand designed to elevate the everyday.
Luxury, Melissa realized, isn’t reserved for red carpets or exclusive events.
“I wanted people to experience elegance in their daily lives,” she explains.
After years of curating looks for music and fashion’s biggest names, she sought to create something that married fragrance with routine, making everyday tasks feel indulgent.
Launching a brand of this caliber required courage and conviction. Melissa invested over £300,000 of her own money, putting her belief in her vision and her commitment to excellence on full display. Her pursuit of perfection took her across Europe, meeting perfumers, testing formulas, and rejecting countless samples that failed to meet her exacting standards. “Excellence doesn’t compromise,” she says. “If it isn’t right, it isn’t Le Luxe.”
Months of meticulous research and dedication led to the creation of Le Luxe — a curated collection of wash beads, dryer sheets, and scented mists that turn a routine chore into a ritual of sophistication.
Each product reflects Melissa’s refined aesthetic, placing fragrance at the center of the everyday experience.
For Melissa, scent is more than aroma — it’s confidence, memory, and identity. Le Luxe allows people to carry luxury into the most ordinary moments, transforming them into opportunities for self-expression and indulgence.
Melissa’s journey from celebrity stylist to entrepreneur is more than a career evolution; it’s a statement about vision, resilience, and the courage to redefine what luxury means on one’s own terms. With Le Luxe, she proves that the extraordinary can exist in the everyday, and that dreams fueled by ambition and persistence are worth every risk.
