Austin O Mailia, 19, shows off his signature line of BroDux cologne on shelves inside Moffat Mercantile Dec. 17. O Mailia makes the cologne in his bedroom and hopes to see it land in big box stores in the future.
In a year full of challenges for small businesses and entrepreneurs, 19-year-old Moffat County native Austin O’Mailia had a breakthrough in his own right, seeing the completion of his very own line of cologne, made right from the comfort of his own bedroom.
It took three years of love and labor to bring BroDux to market.
A 2019 Moffat County High School graduate, O’Mailia has long enjoyed mixing and matching things especially chemicals in soaps and fragrances, due to his parents previously owning Detail Solutions auto detailing business in Craig.
