Maya Njie — Vanilj


Maya Njie — Vanilj
Eau de Parfum
Using the distinctly traditional Swedish combination of Vanilla and Cardamon, Vanilj becomes Nordic Cedar’s sweeter, more softly spoken sibling. The spicy, earthy aspect of cardamom, patchouli and cedarwood is still present but now somewhat tamed towards a powdery gourmand by the added vanilla note which gives the scent a slightly ‘boozy’ bourbon facet - delicious.
A modern, beautiful vanilla. This smart composition opens with an explosion of cardamom that, upon drydown, is met with a gentle and warm patchouli, amber and musk base. Vanilla is often paired with an excess of “baking notes” (nutmeg, cinnamon, etc.) but in Vanilj it is sharpened by the green, savory aspects of the cardamom pod to great effect while lifted and softened by a powdery note. Smooth, warm and delicate.
