Description

Syrus by Maya Njie is a captivating floral composition, a rebrand of the earlier fragrance Siren, maintaining its original formula. It opens with bright, green, and fruity tones, notably bergamot and peach, which quickly intertwine with the heart of jasmine sambac, evoking the intoxicating scent of late-summer blossoms. As it develops, subtle marine nuances from sea salt and clary sage emerge, softened by iris and lilac, leading into a warm, mossy, and woody base of ambergris, oakmoss, sandalwood, Virginian cedar, and rosewood. This fragrance offers a balanced and intriguing scent journey, perfect for those who appreciate a fresh yet grounded floral experience. 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.

Community Insights

As 'Syrus' is a recent rebranding of 'Siren' with the same formula, detailed community reviews specifically for 'Syrus' are still emerging. However, initial indications suggest a fragrance appreciated for its floral and fresh character, with moderate performance.

Cons

Moderate performance: Longevity is noted around 3 out of 5, and sillage at 2.5 out of 5, suggesting a more intimate scent experience rather than a strong projector.
