Maja is an authentic Spanish brand that offers a wide range of care products and specializes in unique fragrances that reflect and emphasize the sensuality of women.
The brand was founded in 1918 by the sculptor Esteve Monegal. His muse, and that of many other artists and intellectuals, was the famous flamenco dancer Tórtola Valencia and his idea was to capture her femininity and her character in a sensual, captivating and unique perfume. He asked one of his famous friends to make the drawing of the famous dancer and this dancer has always remained the symbol of the brand. The icon of the dancer has evolved over the years but has never lost its essence, the same applies to Maja's products.
From the beginning, Maja has been known as a sensual, feminine fragrance and her unmistakable aroma is reflected in each of her products. After the success in Spain, her fame spread beyond national borders. Many people in the Netherlands have brought Maja's soap back with them after a wonderful holiday in Spain.
