Acadian Pride Fragrance makes luxurious laundry and home fragrance in Louisiana, inspired by the warmth, flavor, and good times of Acadian & Cajun culture.
The owners are united by a love of Acadiana and a healthy obsession with chemistry. This company brings the two together, so every scent starts in the lab and ends up smelling like home. A little chemist, a lot Acadian at heart.
Our detergents, fragrance oils, room sprays, and dryer balls are biodegradable and preservative free. You’ll find them here online and on the shelves of local boutiques, pharmacies, and gift shops, because we’d rather be in your neighborhood than anywhere else.
Polished, a little indulgent, and never subtle. Your home was never going to settle for basic.
Acadian always at home.
