The sparkle of citrus notes(bergamot and mandarin), with the intense greens of cypress and fennel. This is unexpected and even more so when a resinous element joins the fray. Frankincense with a little leather, patchouli and cedar wood add depth, richness and complexity. Sunshine, verdant foliage and a little languid this scent is both seductive and addictive. One of the best and most innovative green fragrances.
'Bergamot, Mandarin and Cypress trees mingle with blossoming Iris and Ylang Ylang. Fennel, Frankincense and woods add a herbaceous, green and resinous odour.'

Artist/Perfumer Maya Njie is a self-taught 'nose', which means that she takes risks, bends the rules and produces scents that are truly innovative, unexpected, unique and iconic.
Part Swedish, part Gambian, but a resident of London for twenty years, hers is a wonderfully eclectic field of influence. The cool, minimal Swedish aesthetic meets the warmth and vibrancy of Africa and all in the huge cultural melting pot of one of the largest and most creative Capitals.
Maya's approach to creative perfumery is very personal as she seeks to recreate her own memories, resurrecting them not in a selfish way, but in order to construct a bridge to a wider shared consciousness - she wants her memories to create memories for others.
This collection is authentic; it stirs the mind and the emotions as little flashes of memory circulate behind the eyes. These are universal memories and Maya a contemporary sorcerer with an uncanny ability to tap into the collective experience. The fragrances are exciting, but there is also something strangely familiar about them that is both transporting and comforting at the same time. The formulae are quite minimal; no frills or fuss here, the scents shoot from the hip, which is just the way we like it.
All fragrances are eau de parfum strength and gender-neutral.
