Ansongo is a rough gem. A fragrance true to the imagination of Aïssa Maïga, who wanted to preserve the authentic scent of African soil and her childhood memories. Ansongo is not a small thing; it's a bomb of emotions.
Powerful intensity
Tenacity: a memory that will haunt you for several days...

Dora Baghriche, perfumer at DSM-Firmenich, and Aïssa Maïga, actress and director, forged a sincere friendship through a collaborative creation.
Sunny and committed, they share a common heritage, a vision of the world where humanity plays an essential role.
In partnership with Firmenich
"It's explosive at the top, but it lacks staying power at the base; the heart note doesn't really transition to the base note. We're on the right track, but it's not solid enough yet!"
Since this line, delivered to Alain Chabat in Eric Lartigau's film Prête-moi ta main, Aïssa Maïga had not directed a perfume creation. This time, the encounter was far from fictional. Immersed in the hushed world of olfactory creation, she enthusiastically discovered the alchemy that brings a perfume to life. Her relationship with fragrances? "Currently unattached," confides the actress. She likes to layer scents but is still searching for the one that truly reflects her. Yet, her children haven't forgotten Clinique's Aromatics Elixir, the opulent chypre she wore for a long time.
