Beneath a thick and untamed green veil it rests, nearly invisible to the unobservant eye. Underneath the foliage, Liquorice leather interiors are sheltering from the midday sun. The balmy cypress trees shadowed by the Sierra Bernia mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePedramala, Spain 2008\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlcohol denat, Parfum, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Citral, Citronellol, Eugenol, Farnesol, Geraniol, Isoeugenol, Limonene, Linalool\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll perfumes are vegan.

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":54174660985116,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"full size - 50mL","offer_id":54174661017884,"sku":null,"price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/4264\/files\/5065009176298_1.jpg?v=1782837411","url":"https:\/\/www.lencollective.com\/products\/maya-njie-eau-de-parfum-voyeur-verde","provider":"Len Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
