After spending the past year developing my own fragrance, I’ve become obsessed with learning more about the process of developing fragrance. Maya Njie, an artist and self-taught perfumer, was the perfect person to dive deep on fragrance with. During our conversation Maya and I explored the scent composition of some of her top perfumes while discussing how significant her family history has been in building her business. We also talked about the unique experience of trying to capture feelings and translate them into scents that can be experienced by people internationally, the nuances of building an ethical business, and the surreal feeling of being sold in Liberty London.
Tune in as we discuss:
Perfumes Mentioned:
Maya Njie Nordic Cedar Perfume
We Are Deya Fragrances (by Ezra Lloyd)
Caudalie Beauty Elixir Hydrating Face Mist
