Japanese Tea Rose and Sakura Blossom

The studio is alive with the fragrance of Japanese Tea Rose and Sakura Blossom.  We are hard at work on our new Solid Perfume singles.  Each fragrance takes on a special meaning for me.  I have always loved our Japanese Tea Rose.  It has a wonderful, fresh green top note that is unlike most Rose notes I encounter.  When I first tried our Sakura Blossom (also known as Cherry Blossom) I was intrigued.  It had a definite fruit body but possessed this lovely floral attribute that was unique from any fruit note we used before.  I learned that in Japan many people celebrate the bloom of the Cherry trees by celebrating the Hanami, a gathering of friends and family under the trees to take in their gorgeous fragrance and admire their beauty.  The two notes balance one another so beautifully and are so blendable - I am wearing the Japanese Tea Rose with our Cedar, Musk & Patchouli today.  Happy Saturday!

Melange Solid Perfume Blending Palettes - Spa Magazine

Melange Solid Perfume Blending Palettes
Spa Magazine, Summer Issue




Melange Solid Perfume Blending Palettes are featured in the Summer issue of Spa Magazine's Worldwide Travel issue.  I am a huge fan of this magazine because it highlights some of the worlds most beautiful spa's and the ways they use local plant and flower extracts and minerals in their treatments.


If you are like me and have been asked to hand-over a bottle of perfume at an airport checkpoint you understand why we love the blending palettes so much.  Small & lightweight, they breeze through a checkpoint and still deliver all the benefits of a suitcase full of fragrances. 

Our Green Notes palette (featured above) contains four solid perfumes:

- Green Tea & Honeysuckle
- Cut Grass & Paperwhite
- Cucumber, Sakura & White Tea
- Mimosa, Mint & Citron

Any of these blends is perfect worn alone.  Or, you can release your inner perfumer and blend Green Tea & Honeysuckle with Mimosa, Mint & Citron.  For evening, you could add a top note of Cut Grass & Paperwhite.  I love wearing Cucumber, Sakura & White Tea with Mimosa, Mint & Citron.  My current obsession is to blend Green Tea & Honeysuckle with Jasmine & Neroli from the Floral Notes palette. 

Here is the best part:  At $28, you can indulge in creating your perfect summer fragrance and still afford a treatment at your favorite spa...

Happy summer (and blending)

Blending at the Melange Perfume Studio

Images from our studio -  I refuse to use the word atelier (so over-used)

 We are hard at work on new palettes.  Each palette needs to represent a fresh collection of four finished fragrances that also work well together.... that is the key.  It is not enough for each to smell wonderful.  They need to possess attributes that allow them to take on even more wonderful characteristics when they are worn together.  The seven finished fragrance discs above are the top contendors for one fragrance.  We started with about 35 variations! 

Please don't misunderstand.  I do not see this as a problem.  A wonderful challenge is more like it!   A few things about Melange Perfumes.

1.  We build our fragrances in-house.  What does that mean?  We do not order a bottle of fragrance from a lab and pour it in wax.  We formulate all of our blends here.  Note by note.  Bottle by bottle.  We think you are worth it.

2.  We hand-pour.  Machines never get it right.  I speak from experience. 

3.  We believe in small batches.  I dont want to wear a bottle of perfume that was poured 10 months ago and left on a shelf until I ordered it.   You shouldn't either. 

4.  We think the perfect fragrance for you is the one that makes you happy.  That is why we encourage you to use your own creativity and blend (melange!). 

5.  Perfume should be accessible.  What does that mean?  It shouldn't cost a fortune.



Happy Spring!

Spring at Last!




 It's official.  Spring is finally here. Even the relentless rain in California last week seemed tolerable;  after all, it's spring rain and that is a lot different than cold winter rain.  This is also the time fragrance lovers begin to shed the warm, rich fragrances that envelop us all winter in search of something lighter.  


One of my all time favorite fragrance notes is the Sakura (Cherry) Blossom . A beautiful floral note embellished with a distinct fruit element that is so wonderful. Best of all, it works effortlessly with so many types of fragrances.  Too soon to part with your Tobacco Leaf  perfume you fell in love with this winter?  Add a touch of Sakura Blossom and it will feel perfect for spring.  Prefer citrus fragrances?  Try Sakura Blossom with Pomegranate and Grapefruit, available in our Solid Perfume singles or in our Fruit Notes Palette No. 1.  I love to blend Sakura Blossom with White Tea and Ginger, ala our Green Notes Palette No. 1 or our new Roll-On Perfume Blend No. 4.  Floral fragrance aficionado?  Blend Sakura Blossom with the Honeysuckle and Sugandaraja Tuberose Solid Perfumes (I have been stopped while wearing this one!)


Explore the numerous options available to you for spring or any season.  Have fun with fragrance and trust your instincts.  Happy Spring!

Melange Blend No. 4: Sakura Blossom, Ginger & White Tea

Melange Roll-On Perfume
Blend No. 4 -
Sakura Blossom, Ginger & White Tea
new!

Its very warm in Los Angeles today so I am wearing our new No. 4: Sakura Blossom, Ginger & White Tea. The timing could not be more appropriate - my cherry tree is blooming and the fragrance is wonderful.

The first impression the blend lends is the fresh top note of Sakura Blossom (cherry blossom) which has a crisp fruit fragrance, interlaced with fresh Ginger and sweet White Tea. 

 I feel like I am cheating on winter!
