What the Ph……thalate?
Melis Natural Perfume Blog
by MelisPerfumery
7M ago
  Here at Melis, being committed to 100% natural ingredients, the use of phthalates are naturally never in our ingredients list. But what are phthalates, and why don’t we use them? As its name suggests, it’s obviously a synthetic chemical, but that in itself is not the main crime committed by phthalates. Phthalates are a group of chemicals that are commonly used as plasticizers, which means they are added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, and durability. They are used in many personal care products, not only perfumes – which makes them last longer on the skin – but ..read more

At the core of our best-selling fragrance Amandi, is the glorious rose geranium. All by itself, the rose geranium is intensely complex, smelling of roses, mint, herbs, spice and wood.   Commonly grown in many gardens, it is a plant that keeps on giving, not only for the fragrance of its leaves, but its pretty pink flowers, hardiness, ease of propagation and year-round beauty.   The aromatic oil of the rose geranium is housed in tiny glands on the base of the slightly furry hairs on the leaves and is harvested using a steam distillation method. While it is slightly zingier than pure r ..read more

The Art of Layering Scent
Melis Natural Perfume Blog
by MelisPerfumery
1y ago
Perfume tradition has always held that only one fragrance should be worn at a time. However, at MELIS, we believe a curation intentionally blended for layering can provide an exciting and evolving sensory journey When to layer? There are so many occasions where the weather, the environment or your mood will influence how you connect with your scent, and how you want your fragrances to work for you. For example on a blustery winter’s day, your favourite summer citrus scent may seem a little too fresh so why not layer it over deeper warmer woody notes of vetiver and musk or cedarwood? A romantic ..read more

The Beautiful Rose – a Potted History
Melis Natural Perfume Blog
by MelisPerfumery
1y ago
It wasn’t until 5,000 years ago that we saw evidence of humans starting to cultivate roses. In ancient Egypt, the rose became a powerful symbol of love and beauty and petals were often found in the bindings of mummified bodies as well as inside burial chambers. As a cosmetic, rose petals would be boiled down into an oily slurry for use as a skin balm. Legend has it that Cleopatra scattered rose petals over her bed and piled them nearly two feet deep over her bedroom floor whenever she met with Mark Antony, such were their aphrodisiacal powers. Ancient Roman brides and grooms were often crowned ..read more

The Frisky Full Moon
Melis Natural Perfume Blog

Swoon, with intent, at the frisky full moon by Melanie Dufty, Astrologer   If the moon can cause ocean tides of up to 16 metres, imagine how powerfully she affects us with our bodies made of at least 60 percent water. Water is the element ruling our emotions and the feminine flow of life, so just as the moon – especially a full moon – stirs the seas, the water within us is also extra charged. It’s helpful to be extra intentional (something we’re big on at MELIS) at this time, since heightened emotion can be constructive or destructive. As well as all the feels, many people report restless ..read more

Crystal Healing, The Secret Ingredient In Each MELIS Perfume

by MelisPerfumery

At MELIS, we’re strongly guided by the inherent healing power of nature and the tangible and intangible benefits it provides, reflected by the potent botanicals used in MELIS 100% natural perfumes. Another facet of nature in each MELIS scent is the infusion of energy from crystals, alongside positive intention from our meditation practice. Why crystals? Much like everything else in the universe, from rocks and trees to birds and grass, we are all constantly in motion; vibrating.
