Maya Njie
Founded by Maya Njie
Maya Njie is an artisanal fragrance house founded by a Swedish-West African designer, included here as a notable UK African-diaspora beauty brand rather than a shade-based line. Rooted in Maya Njie's Swedish and West African culture, her line of artisanal fragrances captures sensorial snapshots from her memories; Maya Njie is exclusive to Liberty London, and Nordic Cedar is one of the range's best sellers. The signature scent is evocative and warm: expect cardamom, patchouli and cedarwood with a warm amber-and-musk base that transports you right into the middle of a forest. Honest caveat: as a fragrance brand, Maya Njie doesn't serve deep skin via shade range or pigmentation-targeted formulas, so it sits at the edge of this catalogue's remit. It earns inclusion for completeness as a hand-poured, Liberty-stocked, founder-led diaspora discovery gem, the kind of obscure name that broadens the picture of Black-owned British beauty beyond complexion products, but shoppers seeking deep-skin makeup or treatment skincare should look to other entries here.
