Description
Les Fleurs opens with a bright and vigorous burst of bergamot, offering a crisp, green introduction. As it settles, the fragrance reveals a fruitful and luminous heart where sweet fig, neroli, and magnolia intertwine, creating a sophisticated floral character that avoids typical heavy sweetness. The scent then gracefully rounds off with subtle floral musks and unwilted woods, providing a clean and lasting finish. This green floral composition is inspired by Minnie Riperton's song 'Les Fleur', evoking a celebration of life and creation. Perfumer: Maya Njie

About MAYA NJIE
Maya Njie Perfumes, founded in 2016 by self-taught perfumer Maya Njie, crafts high-quality artisanal eau de parfums inspired by intimate family photographs from her Swedish childhood and Gambian heritage, blending nostalgic Scandinavian notes like cardamom, rhubarb, and vanilla with exotic accords. Her philosophy centers on scent as a direct conduit to memory, creating unisex fragrances that evoke preserved moments—such as Swedish forests after rain or family weddings—while feeling profoundly contemporary through in-house formulations combining natural essences and synthetic molecules. What sets the brand apart is its synesthetic approach, where visual color palettes from 1970s photos inform both scents and minimalist Scandinavian bottle designs, produced in small batches at 30% oil concentration in her East London studio.
