Bottling Memories, Ethical Fragrance, and Creating Scents for Connection ft Maya Njie, Owner of Maya Njie Perfumes
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: How she incorporates family photos and color palettes into each perfumeWhy synthetic fragrances may be safer options for our bodies and environmentsWhat kinds of mentorship and support small brands need to thrive Why fragrance is often hard to break into Why spending time with a fragrance is the best way to learn if it is truly for you Perfumes Mentioned: Maya Njie Discovery Set Maya Njie Nordic Cedar Perfume We Are Deya Fragrances (by Ezra Lloyd) Sarah Baker Perfumes Scent Trunk Rook Perfumes Perfomer H Byredo Naomi Goodsir Caudalie Beauty Elixir Hydrating Face Mist pHformula VITA C Weleda Skin Food Rate, Subscribe & Review the Podcast on Apple Thanks for all the love and support.
