These events are a chance for a small group of people (3 to 8) to get together, explore fragrance, relax and have fun. Melange provides appetizers and participants may bring in a bottle of wine. Each participant creates a custom fragrance (s), which we expertly blend into the product of their choice -- parfum, bath, body or home fragrance item.

New at Melange Apothecary Sherman Oaks

Tsi-La Natural Perfumes


Spring at Melange Apothecary is off to a wonderful start. Our new location (13632 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423) is bustling and we love our new neighborhood with its lovely shops and eateries.


When one thinks of Spring, flowers often comes to mind. New to Melange, Tsi-La is an inspired & timely collection of fragrances that are prepared by hand in small batches using only the finest distilled essential oils and plant botanicals. These fragrances are rich, lush and truly multi-dimensional -- they manage to disprove the notion some hold that all natural fragrances are limited in scope.


ILANG ILANG: A rich, sweet floral blend with lush vanilla orchids and fruit accords.

FLEUR SAUVAGE: Neroli, Italian Bergamot, blond wood notes & rich Tuberose.

KESU: Notes of Amber, Wood and Incense with accords of Jasmine and exotic spice.

KIZES: Elderflower blossoms, rich Tuberose, fresh Bergamot and Orange Flowers.


Available at Melange apothecary:

Set of 4 blends; 4ml each $75

OR

One 4ml fragrance $45
Merci!

MELANGE APOTHECARY MOVES TO SHERMAN OAKS








Finally! Melange Apothecary has settled into our new (and improved!) home in Sherman Oaks. Our new address is 13632 Ventura Boulevard, Sherman Oaks, CA 91423. 818-385-0495. We are on the South side of Ventura, just East of Woodman.


Located just 6 miles East of our old location, our new store is slightly larger and much wider than our Woodland Hills location. This is important, because we needed a larger counter for fragrance blending. Many of you like to blend and stay for awhile and now we have extra space to accommodate you! Also, our Blending Events (after hours & by appointment private events for small groups) will sit much more comfortably. We have a lot of new products to try, including Millefiori, a bath line from Italy, Claus Porto fantasia soaps, wonderful fragrances & whimsical packaging.


Parking: Metered parking is available on Ventura Blvd, or take advantage of the free one-hour parking located in the rear of the stores along this street. Simply look for the "Woodman-Ventura Plaza - one hour free" signs behind any store. You can enter Melange through the back door if you like.


While you are here, take advantage of the many wonderful stores, coffee houses and restaurants. This is a great neighborhood to walk and browse.

Fragrance Bar News: We have a lot of new fragrances & blends for Spring. Try Figuier with Green Tea; Mandarine & Green Tea; Mandarine & Orchide; or my new favorite -- Plum Blossom; a fresh fruit with green and citrus notes. It blends beautifully with The' Blanc or our Natural Orange Blossom.

Merci!
