Deep roots in undisturbed land, creaking and creek-lined. Gasps of crushed fir needles. The balsam of dense blue cypress and tree sap. A remedy of morning air inhaled deeply. Evergreen botanicals that mimic the quietness of first light. Ancient flowering trees and woods who graciously lend their oils for revival.
Munlark Ash is an ode to the Australian Blue Cypress, known as “Munlark” by the Rembarrnga people, traditional owners of south-central Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.

HOW IT WEARS
The deep, resinous green of blue cypress mingles organically here with cedar, frankincense, and vetiver, on the flesh, as they do in nature. Munlark Ash has a slightly sweet, powdery warmth as it softens on the dry down, its complex depth is a delight and never overwhelms. Its wear is soft and almost becomes like a comforting second skin, in the best possible sense. As an EDP, this fragrance will last anywhere from 6-8 hours on the skin.
LORE LOVES
What don’t we love about this deep, sweet resinous ode to Mother Nature? It reminds us of a bushwalk through those tucked away trails on the fringes of a bustling city sprawl, where inner-city souls go for solace and grounding, away from the ‘business’ of life. A getaway to a deeply wooded escape, strolling past ancient giants and ferny creek surrounds, the air simultaneously clean and earthy, alive with the sounds of the bush. Munlark Ash is imbued with a complete sense of calm and connectedness to nature. A sweet escape from it all to recharge and revive. Inhale and exhale…you’ll know what we’re talking about!
ABOUT THE BRAND
Mihan Aromatics was born through a mutual appreciation for the power of scent and a deep-rooted love of the Australian land. Founded by local Fitzroy couple Josh and Jules in 2017, Mihan Aromatics encapsulates the unique Australian experience. Romantic and nostalgic, genderless and timeless — each aroma conjures heartache, hubris and harmony.
Organic Sugarcane alcohol and Kakadu Plum Seed Oil are the hero ingredients used throughout their collection — a way to showcase high quality, clean Australian native ingredients and deliver fragrance that’s better both for you and the environment.
Each Mihan Aromatics scent is designed, developed, assembled and hand-filled in Melbourne, Australia. All parfums are cruelty free and vegan certified.
At Lore Perfumery we have a special connection to Mihan Aromatics, and particularly to Josh and Jules as one of their first ever stockists. Each scent is inspired by a place in the same suburb both Lore and Mihan are based (Fitzroy!) so they’ll always be particularly close to our hearts.
