ASSAYE

Asase Yaa, the Earth and love mother goddess in Akan culture of Ghana, is the figure behind this fragrance. A symbol of fertility and deep connection with nature, she embodies prosperity and respect for our planet.

 

Through its name, the fragrance evokes the nurturing earth and the sacred bond between humans and their environment, celebrating the spiritual and cultural richness of Ghana, the maternal cradle of Scent of Africa. In mythology, she is described as the mother of Anansi, the storyteller and trickster god.

 

This perfume is a tribute to her power and serenity, reflecting a balance between strength and softness.

Assaye enhances a personality that is both bold and sensitive, constantly seeking balance between power and sensuality. A refined, open, radiant individual, instinctively connected to nature. A free and unique spirit that finds resonance with authenticity and depth in this fragrance.

The spirit of vanilla captured in a bottle: a captivating contrast of warmth and freshness between comforting addiction and bold liberation.

 

Assaye is a rich, multifaceted fragrance blending fresh and soft notes with rare elegance. It highlights ingredients sourced from Africa, carrying the imprint of the land they come from.

 

The opening is vibrant and crisp, with juicy apple enhanced by the lightness of cardamom.

 

At the heart, Madagascan vanilla CO₂ extract, naturally spiced and warm, combined with soft, gourmand cinnamon, evokes a creamy, original vanilla pod. Moroccan orange blossom and Egyptian jasmine deepen the enchantment, playing between shadow and light.

 

The base is woody and sensual, with sandalwood giving way to majestic Atlas cedar and Madagascan vetiver—echoes of the earth—while musks and Aromalide™ add a soft, velvety texture.

 

This fragrance is built on contrasts: fresh and warm, powerful and soft, luminous and mysterious.
