Description
Munlark Ash by Mihan Aromatics is a captivating woody aromatic fragrance, launched in 2020, that truly transports you to the heart of the Australian bushland. It opens with a fresh, slightly peppery burst of bergamot and cypress, quickly settling into a resinous core of fir needle and tree sap. As it develops, a grounding blend of Australian blue cypress, vetiver, and frankincense emerges, creating an "ashy" undertone that evokes the serene remnants of a campfire without being overtly smoky. This scent is a meditative and calming experience, perfect for those seeking a deep connection to nature.
Perfumers: Josh Mihan and Jules Brown
