The founders' inspiration
The ocean, always pulling you back.
This scent was born from the Australian coastline, the magnitude and energy of the waves. Inspired by 1970s surf culture and shaped by the founders’ own memories of growing up by the ocean. Salt crusted skin, surf wax melting on a board left in the sun, the smell of sea air carried on a coastal wind. That feeling of raw freedom and the ocean always pulling you back.

Questions
What does Kirra Curl smell like?
Kirra Curl is a woody amber parfum from Series Two. The top notes are sea salt and lemon rind. The middle notes are leather and surf wax. The base notes are vanilla and Australian sandalwood.
It smells like the Australian coast at the end of a long day. Salt crusted towels, sand pushed into wax, the warmth of skin that has been in the sun. Sea air carried on a coastal wind. Leather and vanilla beneath, holding the scent to the body. Raw freedom, and the ocean always pulling you back.
How long does Kirra Curl last on the skin?
Kirra Curl lasts between 8 and 12 hours on skin. At 30% parfum concentration, the vanilla and Australian sandalwood base anchors the salt and leather notes, holding them through long days.
It opens bright and salt soaked, then softens into something skin warm and quietly leathery. Apply to pulse points. The wrists, behind the ear, the hollow of the throat.
Is Kirra Curl unisex?
Yes. Kirra Curl is genderless by design. The salt, leather, and sandalwood read as coastal and grounded rather than masculine or feminine. It belongs to anyone who has been in salt water recently, or intends to be.
When should I wear Kirra Curl?
Kirra Curl is built to be worn all day, every season. The body that has been in salt water recently, or intends to be.
It works in summer at its most natural, layered into skin that already smells like the sea. It works in winter as a reminder of warmer hours. A parfum for the wearer who holds the day loosely.
Who does Kirra Curl suit?
Kirra Curl suits the one who is always slightly sunburned. Who holds the day loosely. Who smells like possibility. Its Tact words are Unruly, Outnumbered, Restless, Endless.
It suits anyone whose life is shaped by the ocean.
What inspired Kirra Curl?
Kirra Curl was inspired by the Australian coastline, the magnitude and energy of the waves, and by 1970s surf culture. Shaped by the founders' own memories of growing up by the ocean. Salt crusted skin, surf wax melting on a board left in the sun, the smell of sea air carried on a coastal wind.
It belongs to Series Two, dedicated to the rare and natural phenomena of the Australian landscape.
What does surf wax smell like in Kirra Curl?
Surf wax is a soft, warm, slightly sweet smell. Most surf waxes are coconut based, melting into something almost dessert like in the sun. In Kirra Curl, the surf wax accord sits at the heart of the composition alongside leather, grounding the bright sea salt opening into something warm bodied and worn in.
It is the note that takes the scent from coastal fresh into something that smells of skin.
How does Kirra Curl compare to the other Mihan Aromatics parfums?
Kirra Curl is the most coastal and most lived in scent in the collection. Where Munlark Ash is bush quiet and Petrichor Plains is rain, Kirra Curl is salt and sun.
Within the broader collection it sits closest in character to Sienna Brume, which is also a coastal Australian scent, though Sienna Brume is poolside and indifferent where Kirra Curl is surf coast and restless. If you are choosing between them, Sienna Brume is the city pool and Kirra Curl is the ocean.
What sizes does Kirra Curl come in?
Kirra Curl is available in 2ml, 10ml, 30ml and 100ml parfum sizes. The 10ml is designed to travel. The 30ml is a daily companion. The 100ml is a long commitment. The 2ml is a way to live with the scent before committing to a full size.
Can I try Kirra Curl before buying a full bottle?
Yes. Kirra Curl is included in our Discovery Set, which contains 2ml vials of all seven Mihan Aromatics parfums. Wear it across different days and weather. A 20% discount code for any full size parfum is included with every Discovery Set.
