Botanical Perfumes are here!!!



Our difference
miessence® Botanical Perfumes are hand-blended in the traditional artisan method of natural perfumery using rare and exquisite botanical extracts, absolutes and essential oils solely as their aromatic source. The entire cornucopia of aromatic plants are explored in our perfumes... flowers, fruits, blossoms, leaves, twigs, barks, resins, woods, roots, rhizomes and seeds are all utilised for a multifaceted aromatic experience. miessence® botanical perfumes are imbued with a depth of character and beauty rarely found in modern perfumery.

How to enjoy it to the fullest
The sensual pleasure of performing the same ancient anointing ritual that has been part of the human experience for thousands of years will create harmony in your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self. Savour the moment as a ritual each day for the rest of your life. To envelop yourself, mind and body in a lingering aromatic experience, apply your perfume to pulse points at the wrists, neck, cleavage and behind the ears.

Synthetic vs Natural Fragrances
Natural perfumery, with a 4000 year history, is linked to nature, beauty and ritual. Not only are they aromatically aesthetic, but they impart therapeutic benefits, formulated solely with rare and expensive raw materials including essential oils, extracts and absolutes. They are simple, yet complex, being comprised of up to 30 unique ingredients. Their complexity is derived from the intricate orchestration of elements with thousands of known and unknown natural chemical compounds. Natural perfumes impart deep and complex fragrance notes with soft with subtle scent nuances that evolves over time with body chemistry. And blessedly, botanical fragrances don't outstay their welcome. They fade into your body gently and imperceptibly over time. Always fresh and fragrant, your botanical perfume simply needs an occasional top-up sometime during your day or evening to maintain your unique aromatic signature.
The brief history (100 years or so) of synthetic perfumes is linked to recent developments in chemistry. They are comprised mainly, if not totally, of hundreds of inexpensive aroma-chemicals. Their fragrance of synthetics is always consistent, with simple and pronounced fragrance notes. Synthetic perfumes have a tendency to fight your natural scent and 'sour' over time, eventually going stale on the skin.




Dangers of Synthetic FragrancesPerfumes make multi-millions of dollars for the chemical cosmetic industry. Thousands of tons of synthetic fragrance are produced each year but with very few legislative checks or restrictions. Environmental scientists and health researchers are increasingly concerned about their affects on our health as well as their persistence in the environment.
There are increased anecdotal and clinical accounts of fragranced products causing, triggering, and exacerbating health conditions such as allergies and asthma. Other concerns relate to the bioaccumulation of synthetic fragrance chemicals in human tissue and the long-term impact of suspected hormone disrupters.
Synthetic fragrances add to both indoor and outdoor air pollution. Synthetic musk compounds are persistent in the environment and contaminate waterways and aquatic wildlife.
