Welcome to Stylist’s Pretty Damn Good, a fortnightly series in which different women share the one product – across haircare, skincare, make-up, body and fragrance – that remains a forever staple in their beauty routines.
Born in Sweden to Gambian and Swedish parents, London-based Maya Njie is a self-taught perfumer whose practice was developed through experimentation and a desire to articulate her dual-cultural heritage.
She blends raw materials, essential oils, aroma compounds and resins, creating autobiographical and contemporary fragrances.
When asked about the one beauty product she’s utterly obsessed with, Njie had this to say…

“I absolutely adore the Dizziak Body Scrub, and often find myself cutting it open to get every last drop.
“I first came across it in 2022 through Dizziak’s founder, Loretta, whom I met on Instagram. She loves my Voyeur Verde perfume, and I love her body scrub, so we’re a perfect match. She also has a haircare line that I’d been using, so when I heard she was launching a body product, I knew I had to try it.
“It’s just so 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 90s Digable Planets mixtape and Spike Lee joints. What’s not to love about that?
I use it in the morning after a good workout and a sauna as a way to reward myself for getting up and going to the gym. It feels like an indulgence that I don’t want to part with. My skin feels soft and nourished afterwards. It also feels great to be supporting a fellow female-led business.”
