Maja Soap 50g

Maja is a brand of perfumes, soaps, and personal care products. Originally a Spanish icon, the brand is currently owned and manufactured by the Mexican pharmaceutical and beauty company Grisi Hermanos. Company History and Evolution Founding (1918): Maja was founded in Barcelona by Esteve Monegal, the founder of the Spanish perfume house Myrurgia. Inspiration: The brand was inspired by the famous flamenco dancer Tórtola Valencia. Monegal commissioned artists (the Porta Brothers) to paint her in a iconic red dress, which remains the brand's emblem. Acquisitions: In July 2000, Myrurgia (and the Maja brand) became part of the Puig Beauty & Fashion Group. Around 2012, Maja was acquired by the Mexican company Grisi Hermanos. Current Status: While it has Spanish roots, the Maja products sold in the United States and Latin America are typically manufactured in Mexico by Grisi, while European stock often originates from factories in Spain. Brand Portfolio and Signature Products The Maja brand is categorized in the "masstige" segment—products of higher quality than standard mass-market items but priced for a broad audience. Its signature scent is described as an Oriental Spicy fragrance for women, featuring a blend of: Top Notes: Citrus, lavender, geranium, tobacco, and orange blossom. Heart Notes: Nutmeg, carnation, patchouli, cloves, rose, and jasmine. Core Products: Perfumed Soaps: Round and rectangular bar soaps known for their intense fragrance and glycerin-enriched formulas. Talcum Powder: Scented dusting powder, often sold with a puff. Modern Extensions: The line has expanded to include body washes, fragrance mists, deodorants, and body lotions with almond oil and Vitamin E. About the Parent Company: Grisi Hermanos Profile: Founded in 1863, Grisi is a Mexican chemical-pharmaceutical company specializing in natural-origin hygiene and beauty products. Operations: The company manages a diverse brand portfolio including Ricitos de Oro (baby care), Hinds (body creams), and various pet and acne treatments.
