Maya Njie Perfumes Discovery Set

I first discovered Maya Njie Perfumes on British Beauty Blogger and had to rush out and buy the Discovery Set (5 x 2ml - £17). Swedish founder and formulator, Maya moved to London in her late teens and studied surface design and photography at the University of Arts in London. She found that she loved experimenting with different raw materials and taught herself perfumery. After getting lots of positive comments about the perfumes she wore she decided to set up her own niche perfume brand - Maya Njie. You can buy online or directly from Liberty.

The unisex perfumes (EdP) are created using essential oils, aroma compounds and resins making use of both natural and synthetics.  The blends mixed in small fresh batches with care and precision and the bespoke packaging incorporates colourways extracted from family photographs. 

I like the concept of returning a full size empty bottle for re-filling (15% discount). You can see more information about this HERE.

I totally fell head-over-heels dizzy for the glorious Les Fleurs (50ml - £85) which is a sensational floral inspired by Minnie Ripperton's song "Les Fleurs" which graced our radio airwaves in the 1970s. 

It has fresh green floral notes and is perfect for Spring and Summer and is really, really special.

"Bergamot, the fresh citrus top note, provides a green and vigorous opening. Beneath lies fruitful, bright heart notes of sweet fig, neroli and Magnolia. It is rounded off with subtle base notes of Floral Musks and Woods".

I also enjoyed Tobak, a smokey and spicy scent which has notes of Tobacco Leaf, Vetiver, Cinnamon, Tonka, Musk and Leather. It's slightly more masculine but still very wearable.  Vanilj, is a light as air vanilla scent, so sweet with a hint of cardamon, patchouli, cedar and amber - delicious! 

Nordic Cedar contains fresh notes of cardamon along with patchouli, musk, cedarwood and amber while Tropica (think summer holidays) is a lush blend of pineapple, coconut, fig, citrus, ambergris and sandalwood. 

There's an offer running until 23 April to get 15% off your order CELEBRATE15 to celebrate 1,000 online orders to date.

And so.... I had to pick up my absolute favourite from the collection in single pocket perfume size (7.5ml - £22). You know, I will buy this full size next time!
