Maya Njie • Tobak
Tobak - Eau de Parfum
Tobak is a rich, smoky blend of tobacco leaf, vetiver, and warm cinnamon, balanced by deep, animalic musks and leather. Dark yet comforting, it’s a scent that lingers—and one you might find irresistible.
Inspired by Maya’s older sister Anette and their grandad Martin in his Västerås apartment, Sweden, 1967. A stoker by trade and a humanitarian at heart, Martin was a conscientious objector and the embodiment of kindness—this fragrance is an ode to him.

Maya Njie
Maya Njie’s fragrances are deeply personal, drawing on her dual Scandinavian and Gambian heritage to capture the essence of memory and place. Self-taught, she began experimenting with raw materials, essential oils, and aroma compounds, creating scents that are both nostalgic and modern.
Her perfumes are inspired by vivid recollections of childhood: summers spent in a small Swedish house surrounded by ever-changing forests, quiet Sunday afternoons in her grandparents’ modest flat, and the joyful celebration of family weddings. These moments, immortalized in 1960s family photographs, form the heart of her work.
Each fragrance tells a story, bottling the textures, tones, and emotions of a time and place. Maya’s creations transform fleeting memories into rich, evocative scents, offering a timeless connection to the past while feeling profoundly contemporary.
