Maya Njie • Voyer Verde
Voyer Verde - Eau de Parfum
Bergamot, mandarin, and cypress trees blend harmoniously with the delicate blooms of iris and ylang-ylang. Herbaceous fennel, resinous frankincense, and earthy woods create a rich, green aroma.
On the gently sloping hills of Pedramala, a Spanish town nestled in the shadow of the Sierra Bernia mountains, an old, weathered Mercedes sits abandoned, surrendered to nature’s embrace. Hidden beneath a lush canopy of untamed greenery, it is nearly invisible to all but the most observant. Inside, the liquorice-toned leather seats lie untouched, quietly protected from the midday sun, as the balmy cypress trees sway in the warm breeze.

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.
