During our conversation Maya and I explored the scent composition of some of her top perfumes while discussing how significant her family history has been in building her business. We also talked about the unique experience of trying to capture feelings and translate them into scents that can be experienced by people internationally, the nuances of building an ethical business, and the surreal feeling of being sold in Liberty London.</p><p><br></p><p>Tune in as we discuss:</p><ul><li>How she incorporates family photos and color palettes into each perfume</li><li>Why synthetic fragrances may be safer options for our bodies and environments</li><li>What kinds of mentorship and support small brands need to thrive&nbsp;</li><li>Why fragrance is often hard to break into&nbsp;</li><li>Why spending time with a fragrance is the best way to learn if it is truly for you</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Perfumes Mentioned:</strong></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772107\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Maya Njie Discovery Set&nbsp;</strong></a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772094\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Maya Njie Nordic Cedar Perfume</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772170\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">We Are Deya Fragrances </a>&nbsp;(by Ezra Lloyd)</p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772172\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sarah Baker Perfumes</a></p><p><a href=\"https://ministryofscent.com/collections/scent-trunk\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Scent Trunk</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772175\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Rook Perfumes</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772182\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Perfomer H</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.byredo.com/us_en/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Byredo&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772167\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Naomi Goodsir&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772122\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Caudalie Beauty Elixir Hydrating Face Mist</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772157\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">pHformula VITA C&nbsp;</a></p><p><a href=\"https://go.shopmy.us/p-5772149\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Weleda Skin Food</a></p><p><br></p><p>Rate, Subscribe &amp; Review the Podcast on <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/ke/podcast/naked-beauty/id1131628553\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple&nbsp;</a></p><p><br></p><p>Thanks for all the love and support.
