Questions
The answers to what we are most often asked. From parfum concentration and longevity, to where each scent begins, to how to find the one that becomes yours.
How long does Mihan Aromatics parfum last on the skin?
Mihan Aromatics parfums last between 8 and 12 hours on skin, with sillage softening into a close, skin-warmed trail after the first three to four hours. This is the natural behaviour of a 30% concentration parfum.
It does not announce itself across a room for ten hours. It rests close, layers into the skin, and lingers in the places it has been pressed. Pulse points, the inside of the wrist, behind the ear, the hollow of the throat. Reapplication is rarely needed. The scent moves with you.
What is parfum concentration, and why does Mihan Aromatics use 30%?
Parfum concentration refers to the percentage of aromatic compounds in a fragrance. Mihan Aromatics uses 30%, which classifies our products as Parfum, the highest concentration available worldwide. Eau de Toilette typically sits at 5 to 15%. Eau de Parfum at 15 to 20%.
We chose 30% because it allows the composition to reveal itself slowly, hour by hour, without leaning on synthetic fixatives. Less alcohol, more parfum. A small amount is enough.
Is Mihan Aromatics parfum unisex?
Yes. Every Mihan Aromatics parfum is genderless by design. We do not create scents for men or women. We create scents for character, memory, and mood.
Mikado Bark sits as naturally on a woman as it does on a man. Sinful Rose does not belong to one gender. The question we ask is not who you are, but who you are becoming when you wear it.
What does Mihan Aromatics smell like?
Mihan Aromatics parfums sit in the spaces between traditional categories. Not strictly floral. Not strictly woody. Not fresh in the conventional sense.
We are drawn to wood and earth, marine air and stone, spice and warmth, the green of Australian bush, the vanilla warmth that grounds a composition without sweetening it. Each parfum begins with a specific memory and is built outward from there. Seven distinct scents. Seven portals.
Where is Mihan Aromatics made?
Mihan Aromatics parfums are handmade in Melbourne, Australia. Every bottle is composed, blended, filled, and finished by hand in our Melbourne studio.
The hero ingredient across every parfum is Australian Organic Sugarcane alcohol, procured from sustainably practising farms in Northern Queensland. The land is in the bottle before any other note is added.
Are Mihan Aromatics parfums vegan and cruelty free?
Yes. Every Mihan Aromatics parfum is vegan and cruelty free. Always has been, always will be. No animal-derived ingredients. No animal testing at any stage of formulation or production.
What is the hero ingredient in Mihan Aromatics parfum?
The hero ingredient across every Mihan Aromatics parfum is Australian Organic Sugarcane alcohol, sourced from sustainably practising farms in Northern Queensland. This is one of the founders' heritage made liquid, and it anchors every formulation in Australian land before the first note is layered in.
How is Mihan Aromatics different from designer parfum?
Mihan Aromatics is a small Melbourne parfum house, not a fashion-house extension. Our parfums are formulated at 30% concentration, made by hand in Melbourne, and built around specific Australian memories rather than focus-grouped trends.
Designer fragrances are often produced at lower concentrations and built to be immediately recognisable. Ours are built to be slowly understood.
How do I choose a Mihan Aromatics parfum?
Start with the Discovery Set. It contains 2ml vials of all seven parfums, allowing you to live with each one across different days, moods, and weather before committing to a full size.
The scent that keeps returning to you, the one you reach for without thinking, is yours. A 20% discount code for any full-size parfum is included with every Discovery Set.
What is the Discovery Set?
The Discovery Set contains 2ml vials of all seven Mihan Aromatics parfums: Mikado Bark, Sienna Brume, Guilty Story, Petrichor Plains, Munlark Ash, Kirra Curl, and Sinful Rose.
It is designed for those who want to explore the full collection before committing. Each one is a portal to a different sensory memory. Explore them all, and the one that stays with you is yours.
What sizes are available?
Mihan Aromatics parfums are available in 10ml, 30ml, and 100ml. Select scents are also available as candles and air fragrances.
The 10ml is designed to travel. The 30ml is a daily companion. The 100ml is a long commitment.
Which Mihan Aromatics parfum should I start with?
The recommendation depends on what kind of presence you want to carry. If you are drawn to design, restraint, and depth, begin with Mikado Bark, Munlark Ash, or Petrichor Plains.
If you are drawn to emotion, memory, and intimacy, begin with Sienna Brume, Sinful Rose, or Guilty Story. If you cannot decide, the Discovery Set is built for exactly that.
Can I try Mihan Aromatics before buying a full bottle?
Yes. The Discovery Set contains 2ml vials of all seven parfums and is the considered way to try the full collection before committing to a full size. It is the most reliable way to find your signature scent.
Is Mihan Aromatics a good gift?
Yes. The Discovery Set in particular is built for gifting. It allows the recipient to choose their own scent, which is the only honest way to gift parfum.
For someone whose taste you know intimately, a full-size bottle of the scent that matches their character is the gesture.
Where does Mihan Aromatics ship to?
Mihan Aromatics ships across Australia. Shipping times and rates are calculated at checkout based on destination within Australia.
What if my bottle arrives damaged?
Every Mihan Aromatics order is packaged with care, but parfum travels through many hands before it reaches yours. If your bottle arrives damaged, contact us at info@mihanaromatics.com with a photograph, and we will send a replacement.
Can I return a parfum if I do not love it?
For hygiene reasons, opened parfum bottles cannot be returned. This is why the Discovery Set exists. Live with the scents first. Then commit.
Where can I buy Mihan Aromatics in person?
Mihan Aromatics is available through select stockists and partner hotels across Australia. Visit our Stockists page to find a retailer near you.
