About This Perfume
Aethi Opum by Maya Njie is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. The fragrance features Incense, Earthy Notes, Leather, Coffee, Iris, Frankincense, Vanilla, Vetiver, Papyrus, Black Pepper and Suede. Aethi Opum by Maya Njie is a composition that contrasts damp, earthy impressions with warm resins and spice. It opens with black pepper, wet earth and the unusual note of aidan fruit, evoking the atmosphere after rainfall. As it develops, nuances of thiouraye (churai) incense, coffee and papyrus emerge alongside iris and suede for a textured, smoky heart. The base is built around vetiver, leather, frankincense and vanilla, which add depth, warmth and a lingering resinous sweetness. The result is a fragrance that moves from rain-soaked soil and stone toward a drier, incense-tinged warmth, with leather and woods framing the composition.
