About Us
Born from the heart of the Wild Coast, Zayya is deeply inspired by the untamed beauty and spirit of KwaZulu-Natal’s rugged coastline. Rooted in a passion for scent and a love for nature, we create fragrances that honor the craftsmanship, sustainability, and vibrant culture of the region we call home.
For us, perfume is more than just fragrance; it’s a story, a connection to nature, and a celebration of individuality. Every Zayya scent is carefully handcrafted with the finest oils, produced in small batches to ensure excellence. We believe in reimagining what it means to experience premium perfume—one that’s crafted with care, inspired by nature, and made accessible to all.
Our minimalist design philosophy lets our fragrances speak for themselves, with timeless scents that feel effortlessly luxurious and resonate with your personality and style. From sourcing to packaging, we are committed to creating clean, cruelty-free, and sustainable products that reflect our deep respect for the planet, its people, and its natural beauty.
At Zayya, we believe in crafting more than just fragrance—we craft moments, memories, and the confidence that comes with finding your perfect scent.
What we stand for.
Authenticity.
We’re inspired by the land and people of the Wild Coast, and this authenticity runs through everything we do. From the ethical sourcing of ingredients to the honest way we communicate with our community, Zayya is a brand built on real stories and real values.
Craftmanship.
Every bottle of Zayya perfume is a labor of love. Hand-blended and decanted in small batches, our fragrances combine the world-class expertise of Grasse, France, with the artisanal touch of South African hands. Quality is never compromised; it’s celebrated.
Sustainability.
As stewards of the Wild Coast’s natural beauty, we’re committed to eco-friendly practices. From using recyclable materials to ensuring our fragrances are vegan and cruelty-free, every step is designed to honor the planet.
You Are Enough.
In a world of trends and fleeting fads, we invite you to explore fragrances that resonate with your own style and spirit. Zayya isn’t about dictating what you should wear; it’s about empowering you to choose scents that truly speak to you.
Team clean.
At Zayya, we believe in doing things the right way. Our fragrances are formulated with clean, ethically sourced ingredients, following South Africa’s strict cosmetic safety guidelines. Our scents are made to be as kind to you as they are to the environment.
Our sustainable and vegan-friendly fragrances are 100% cruelty-free so you can indulge guilt-free.
Team green.
We’ve embraced sustainable packaging that’s as functional as it is beautiful. Using recyclable and eco-friendly materials, we minimize waste while maximizing impact. Additionally, any returned perfumes are donated to charities, ensuring every bottle has a meaningful second life.
