Maya Njie • Tropica
Tropica - Eau de Parfum
Tropica opens with a bright, sparkling blend of citrus fruits, pineapple, and white florals. Its heart reveals the creamy sweetness of Mediterranean fig, accented with hints of iris and rhubarb. The base of coconut, ambergris, and woody accords evokes sun-drenched landscapes, making this scent transportive and evocative of warmer climates.
Inspired by Maya’s childhood trips to The Gambia, Tropica captures the joy of sun-soaked days: the scent of suntan oil, the taste of ripe oranges and freshly picked coconuts, and the magic of late nights filled with cricket songs and distant drumbeats. A fragrance of radiant warmth, freedom, and endless adventure.

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.
