The Brand

TAYSHABA combines art, culture, ancestry and non-conformism.

Inspired by secret Sudanese ancestral scents and enriched with high-quality ingredients, its creations offer artisanal and artistic compositions that embody the brand's manifesto: stand out, defy convention and be yourself.

Myrrh is a key ingredient in the collection. Its historic journey from the African incense routes of the founder's Kushite ancestors to the Levant and the Silk Road symbolises the power of fragrance to transcend borders and connect cultures.

The brand identity features lines inspired by the Nile, representing connection and cultural exchange.

The Story

TAYSHABA was created by Maiada El Khalifa, an accomplished artist and the world's first Franco-Sudanese perfumer. The great-granddaughter of independence fighters and founders of modern Sudan, Maiada infuses this DNA into her creations.

Her bold creations aim to introduce new essences and beauty to the world of perfumery, presenting them through a fusion of audacity, heritage and passion. A truly multicultural appeal, illustrated by the names of the fragrances, which mix words in French, English and Arabic.

Tayshaba is also committed to the environment: the collection is vegan, contains no animal ingredients, uses high-quality ingredients with minimal waste, and all the musks are biodegradable.

The Founder

Maiada El Bakali, la parfumeure fondatrice des parfums de niche TAYSHABA, tient dans sa main deux touches à sentir

Maiada is a non-conformist with an exploratory spirit and an atypical background. Her careers in finance and business contrast with her deep passion for art and cultural exchange. As an artist and perfumer, she channels her art into unique creations. She has always carried her own blend, an ancestral Sudanese formula infused with various notes. After studying perfumery in Grasse, she launched TAYSHABA to share her fragrances, combining multiculturalism and ancestry. ‘I love exploring the infinite possibilities of what could be. I want to challenge convention, unleash creativity and bring the unknown to everyone. The beauty of art is the art of beauty.’
