In this episode of Olfactive Melbourne, we sit down with Julia Brown and Josh Mihan, the founders of Mihan Aromatics, an Australian fragrance house inspired by coastal landscapes, modern perfumery, and a distinctly relaxed approach to scent.
Founded in Melbourne and now based on the Victorian coast, Mihan Aromatics draws inspiration from Australian environments and everyday rituals. The brand combines contemporary composition with carefully selected materials, creating fragrances that balance freshness, structure, and longevity. Alongside their creative work, Mihan Aromatics places strong emphasis on non toxic, skin safe formulation, allergen transparency, and a considered approach to sustainability and social impact.
In this note by note masterclass, we explore Kirra Curl, a fragrance built around the rhythm of the Australian coastline. It opens with sea salt and lemon rind before moving into an unconventional heart of leather and surf wax. As the fragrance settles, it reveals a warm and textured base of vanilla, Australian Buddha wood, and Australian sandalwood, forming a woody amber structure that anchors the composition.
Watch as we step inside the creative world of Mihan Aromatics, exploring how the founders translate coastal culture into fragrance, how unconventional accords are constructed, and how understanding structure allows us to experience perfume with greater clarity and appreciation.
