Elusive moments and subtle details, those that would otherwise have slipped from consciousness, are remembered. The tones are of a time and the accords nostalgic, yet the end products feel profoundly contemporary. Memories from Maya’s dual Scandinavian and Gambian heritage are reconstructed by way of scent. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a self-taught perfumer, her practice was developed through experimentation; the blending of raw materials with a variety of essential oils, aroma compounds and resins; nature and science combining in autobiographical fragrances. Maya’s olfactory identity draws inspiration from her upbringing, as well as an archive of intimate family photographs from the 1960s; the small Swedish summer house surrounded by mercurial forests, the visits to her grandparents’ sparsely furnished flat on Sunday afternoons, Uncle Lars' and Aunt Erene’s wedding. A bottling of a time, place and spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maya Njie","offers":[{"title":"travel spray - 7.5mL","offer_id":54174655643932,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"full size - 50mL","offer_id":54174655676700,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/4264\/files\/5065009176243_1.jpg?v=1782837553","url":"https:\/\/www.lencollective.com\/products\/maya-njie-eau-de-parfum-nordic-cedar","provider":"Len Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
