Maya Njie Aethi Opum is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Aethi Opum opens with Earthy and Pepper, settles into a heart of Suede, Papyrus, Iris, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Leather, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Frankincense. Maya Njie's Aethi Opum carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

A polarizing masterpiece that splits opinion between reverent adoration and complete dismissal. Expect a photo-realistic journey to a damp church basement - if that's your thing, you'll adore its unique, earthy charm.

About

Imagine stepping into an ancient, stone-walled church after a downpour: that's the core of Aethi Opum. Damp earth and rich, resinous frankincense hit first, quickly followed by dry papyrus and a whisper of dark coffee. A subtle, well-worn leather and iris add depth, creating a surprisingly refined yet intensely evocative aroma that lingers like an old memory.
