Maya Njie Vanilj is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Maya Njie. Vanilj opens with Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Maya Njie's Vanilj carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Maya Njie's Vanilj is a wonderfully divisive cardamom explosion; a polarising take on vanilla that's either a warm, comforting Swedish bakery bun or a cold, medicinal spice cupboard. Best for those who know real cardamom.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Like a spicy, aromatic hug, Vanilj layers warm cardamom and earthy patchouli over a subtle vanilla base. Woody cedar and amber provide a grounded, sophisticated backdrop, while a touch of musk adds a clean, understated finish. It’s an interpretation of vanilla that’s far from a sugar bomb, leaning into a dry, warm spice character instead.
