The origin of the logo

Maison Sambin ‘s logo draws its inspiration from the Nyansapo, also known as the “wisdom knot”, an adinkra, i.e., a visual symbol charged with meaning. This symbol, fashioned by the Ashanti and Gyaman peoples of Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, embodies wisdom and ingenuity. It symbolizes intelligence, patience and the ability to achieve one’s goals. In this spirit, our fragrances, meticulously crafted in Grasse – a place recognized and certified for its perfumery expertise – reflect our core values. They convey ideas of wisdom, knowledge and experience.

The calligraphy of the name ” Maison Sambin ” is inspired by bogolan, a Malian textile art famous for its tribal motifs. These patterns are not only decorative, they are also renowned for their ability to protect. This inspiration is reflected in our perfumes, which offer exceptional fragrance diffusion and a protective aura, echoing the properties of the fabric. Bogolan is made from earth and is considered a carrier of vital energy. Each motif tells a story, whether historical, religious or mythological, and becomes a marker of cultural identity for a people or a village.
