ON REPEAT | Maya Njie

Maya Njie, the creative mind & nose behind Maya Njie Perfumes.

A premium fragrance brand that marries her Swedish & Gambian roots to create powerfully captivating and nostalgic blends reminiscent of warm tropical West African scents and earthy green Nordic forests.

Below, this scent sensation tells us about the botanical body scrub that she has permanently On Repeat.

The product I always scissor hack to get the last dredges out of is Dizziak Body Scrub. It’s THE one!

BSD admires of this level dedication for a great product!

I first discovered it in 2022 through Loretta De Feo (the founder of Dizziak). We met on Instagram; she loves my perfume Voyeur Verde and I love her body scrub. We are a match! Dizziak also has a haircare line that I had been using.

I love this scrub because it is invigorating to use, it exfoliates gently and smells really nice in a botanical way. The branding is spot on too - it reminds me of my early 90’s Digable Planets mix tap and Spike Lee joints, and what’s not to love about that?

There is everything to love.

I use it the most when my skin needs to shed. No, I use it more than that…it feels like an indulgence I do not want to part with. My skin feels soft and nourished, I’m energised and feel great in supporting a fellow Black owned female led business.

My favourite way to use it is in the morning after a good workout and a sauna. I use it to reward myself for getting up and going to the gym first thing in the morning.
