About “Allwyn H Stephen” .

Being a dynamic leader who believes nothing is impossible, I take on any challenge with utmost determination and perseverance. It’s my simple belief that success is based on the A3 mantra of Aspiration, Ambition & Achievement.

How He Started His Journey.

In 1989, I stepped into the world of fragrances and started my career as a Sales Executive with one of the leading perfume companies – Ghadeer Trading (Al Tayer Group). My passion led to me being promoted to Brand Manager within a year.

In 1996, the renowned Rivoli Group asked me to join them as General Manager and spearhead their perfume division, which distributed some of the finest names in the fragrance and luxury skincare business such as Hermes, La Prairie, Juvena to name a few.

Three years later, I took up a new challenge and launched Gulf Beauty International, a distribution company for the largest luxury retailer Paris Gallery Group (Al Fahim, UAE), which became an important player in the distribution of luxury goods in the GCC.

By 2002, I founded Beauty Contact, a management consultancy to help clients bring luxury goods to the region, distribution rights for the MENA region and Indian subcontinent for international fragrances like Paris Hilton, Guess, Swiss Army, Maria Sharapova, Andy Roddick, Jessica Simpson, Alfred Sung, Hummer, Nicole Miller, Jivago, Perry Ellis, Kim Kardashian and One Direction to name a few.

In the year 2005 I decided to go into licensing and the first license signed by me was for Cadillac Fragrances , under license by General Motors – USA to design, develop, produce and distribute fragrances worldwide under the name of Cadillac. Following that new global licenses were signed such as – Madonna Fragrances, M S Dhoni Fragrances, WIT Fragrances and many more.
