Exploring creative boundaries led Mariya to embark on an olfactory journey, working on translating colours and designs into fragrance. Passionate about flowers which often feature in her designs and artwork, Mariya’s family home and garden in West Sussex is abundant with an array of carefully nurtured scented flowers. When Aspinal of London decided to work with a prestigious French Fragrance House, Mariya led the project to capture the DNA, aesthetic and iconic heritage of the brand in scent form, heavily inspired by her beloved English country garden. Green Rose in particular is a homage to the garden’s roses, freesias and jasmine and also inspired Mariya’s ‘A Rose By Any Other Name’ artwork. The Fragrance project took three years to complete and the first three Aspinal of London scents, Green Rose, Musky Fig, Ochre Spice launched in 2024.
