Questions
The answers to what we are most often asked at Mihan Aromatics ™. 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 how a 30% concentration parfum is meant to behave.
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 within a composition. 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, settling deeper into the skin as the day unfolds. 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 easily 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. Never one family alone. Complex from the first breath, and never immediately decipherable.
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.
Eight distinct scents. Eight 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.
Most designer scents are 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 seven parfums and, for now, a complimentary Eucalyptus Bloom sample, 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. After your Discovery Set order, a code for 20% off any full size Mihan Aromatics parfum arrives by email.
What is the Discovery Set?
The Discovery Set contains 2ml vials of seven Mihan Aromatics parfums: Mikado Bark, Sienna Brume, Guilty Story, Petrichor Plains, Munlark Ash, Kirra Curl and Sinful Rose. Until the new sets arrive, every set also comes with a complimentary Eucalyptus Bloom sample.
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 are restless, ocean pulled, and happiest with salt still on your skin, begin with Kirra Curl.
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 seven parfums and, for now, a complimentary Eucalyptus Bloom sample. It 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 anything arrives damaged, faulty, incorrect or missing, please email us at info@mihanaromatics.com, ideally within 7 days of delivery.
Include your order number and a photograph, and we will make it right with a replacement or a refund. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
Can I return a parfum if I do not love it?
We want every parfum to find its rightful home, though we are unable to offer returns or exchanges for a change of mind. This includes opened products, the Discovery Set, samples, and limited edition pieces.
This is why the Discovery Set exists. Live with each scent first, on your own skin and in your own time, then choose the one that stays.
If your order arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, we will always make it right. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected.
