MUNLARK ASH BY MIHAN AROMATICS

Straight from the heart of a forest in Australia comes Munlark Ash, the latest addition to the Mihan Aromatics portfolio


THE PERFUME
Munlark Ash is reminiscent of the undeniable beauty of Australia’s bushland and outback. Made with
rich spices and woody notes, the parfum’s delicate smokiness alludes to what remains undisturbed, and undiscovered.

Alongside cedar wood, black pepper and fir needles, Munlark Ash honours 
the Australian Blue Cypress Tree traditionally known as ‘Munlark’ by the Rembarrnga people of the North ern Territory. The parfum celebrates  the complexity of Australia’s flora and fauna, alongside the Indigenous Australians to whom it belongs.
 
Resinous, cleansing, nostalgic and arboreal Munlark Ash cherishes the nurture provided by Australia’s land and trees, encouraging indulgence in the rejuvenation they offer.

To mark the release of Munlark Ash, Mihan Aromatics have collaborated with Heath Wae, a Byron Bay based artist, and the co-founder of Studio of the Sun. Heath has interpreted the scent through a sensory and visual exploration of the tree of life, trans forming the Munlark Ash packaging.

His work celebrates the ritualistic ceremonies - young and old - that unfold under the dense canopy of
Australian Blue Cypress trees.

For the past 10 years, Julia Brown and Joshua Mihan have been thoughtfully noting evocative aro mas, preserving both a creative and personal partnership. They cherish their contemporary and collective Australian experience by distilling it into scent.

Series one of Mihan Aromatics launched in 2017 - romantic and nostalgic, the scents were curated as ‘a portal for the individual to be in stantly transported to their favourite memories’, Julia says.

Munlark Ash follows Petrichor Plains in their second series, dedicated to the Australian landscape and its rare and natural phenomena.

Mihan Aromatics are committed to creating familial scents that rise to the occasion. Genderless and time less, their aromas conjure heartache, hubris and harmony.

Focused on raising the profile of Australian native ingredients to an International landscape, Mihan Aromatics Parfums are meticulously distilled with Australian Organic Sugarcane. Each Parfum Oil consists of parfum extract and Kakadu Plum Seed Oil wildly grown and hand-picked by the Bardi people of The Kimberley.

All Mihan Aromatics parfums are designed and developed, hand filled and assembled, with pride and pas sion in Melbourne, Australia.

They are cruelty free and vegan certified.

Munlark Ash is now available in 100ml Parfum (25% concentrate) or 8ml Parfum Extrait with Kakadu Plum Seed Oil.

REVIEW
Munlark Ash has a dark and mysterious profile but at the same time it's airy and brilliantly transparent like the rays of sun that comes with the first light of the day warming up the wet trees and soil that were humid by the touch of the dew.

This evocative piece opens up with a rich spicy melange where fresh and warm spices conforms a juxtaposed sensation of cold and hot perfectly supported by a great smoky cypress note, specifically Australian Blue Cypress traditionally known as ‘Munlark’ by the Rembarrnga people of the Northern Territory. Alongside the Munlark wood note there's earthy, green vetiver mixed up with some raw woods, humid resins and a precious musky and powdery undertone. The resinous and smoky woody accord conforms to my nose a crystal clear image of a morning in a large forest wet after the storm and the smell of firewood burning in a fireplace not far away. The perfect dark, green, earthy, woody and resinous scent profile recreates an arboreal landscape. 

As Julia Brown and Joshua Mihan (Mihan Aromatics founders) describes, this scent celebrates the “complexity of Australia’s flora and fauna, alongside the Indigenous Australians to whom it belongs.

SPANISH ARTICLE


Munlark Ash tiene un perfil oscuro y misterioso, pero al mismo tiempo es aireado y brillantemente transparente como los rayos del sol que vienen con la primera luz del día calentando los árboles húmedos y el suelo que estaban húmedos por el rocío.

Esta evocadora pieza se abre con una rica mezcla picante donde las especias frescas y cálidas conforman una sensación yuxtapuesta de frío y calor perfectamente respaldada por una gran nota de ciprés ahumado, específicamente el ciprés azul australiano conocido tradicionalmente como 'Munlark' por la gente Rembarrnga del Territorio del Norte. Junto a la nota de madera de Munlark hay un vetiver verde terroso mezclado con algunas maderas crudas, resinas húmedas y un precioso tono almizclado y empolvado. El acorde amaderado, resinoso y ahumado conforma para mi nariz una imagen cristalina de una mañana en un gran bosque húmedo después de la tormenta y el olor a leña ardiendo en una chimenea no muy lejos. El perfecto perfil de aroma oscuro, verde, terroso, leñoso y resinoso recrea un paisaje arbóreo.

Como lo describen Julia Brown y Joshua Mihan (fundadores de Mihan Aromatics), este aroma celebra la "complejidad de la flora y la fauna de Australia, junto con los australianos indígenas a quienes pertenece.
