Ever wondered what Love Island's glamorous host smells like as she slow-mo walks into the villa? Well, we can tell you Maya Jama's perfume leaves a trail of irresistibly woody and floral notes in her wake...

As Love Island 2023 returns to our screens, along with a whole host of fresh-faced singletons, we want all the intel we can get about host, Maya Jama—especially when it comes to her beauty and style essentials. But while we already know where a ton of Maya Jama's Love Island outfits are from, what of her go-to everyday fragrance?

Thankfully, though we have many Love Island-related cliffhangers ahead of us, you won't be left hanging in the perfume department. Here's where to shop Maya's signature scent, to manifest your own summer of love...

What perfume does Maya Jama wear?

So, it turns out that Maya is actually a fan of a woody and floral perfume, widely considered one of the best perfumes around...Mugler's Alien.

The Love Island host/resident bombshell told Who What Wear in April 2023: "I've recently got a new one, and I've been talking about it all day. It's Mugler Alien. My mate Jourdan Dunn is the face of the fragrance, so thought I'd give it a go, and oof, it's lovely.


In a 2019 interview with Marie Claire, Maya also revealed that she was a fan of Dior Poison and D&G's Dolce Garden. She said: "I wear Dior Poison—it’s in a little red apple-shaped bottle, I love that one. I also wear Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Garden, which is really floral. I’m always swapping between those two."

Dior Poison boasts a very seductive blend of peppery, floral and fruity notes, with hints of coriander, wild berries, orange honey, tuberose and base notes of opopanax. This scent is ideal if you're looking for a vacation perfume with a sexy kick!


Dolce Garden is on the sweeter gourmand side (and would actually make a perfect spring perfume, if you're looking for one!), with notes of neroli, frangipani flower accord, coconut essence, vanilla, almond milk and sandalwood accord.


Well, it's official—these are now the ultimate scents for summer!
