Winter Rose, Perfume One in the Gion Series of Scents
Rose Otto
Ambergris
Orris Butter
Sandalwood Myssore
Agarwood
My first all-natural perfumes
Inspired by the Maiko and Geisha of Gion in Kyoto, Japan.
It may come as a surprise to you that for nearly a decade, Tokyo was my home.
I often travelled to Kyoto (the ancient capital) and befriended fellow artisans, gardeners, textiles, woodcraft, and leatherwork experts. My curiosity and appreciation for the arts also led me to develop an interest in Geisha culture.
Translated to English, Geisha means “artist.”
These women master various musical instruments, songs, dance, calligraphy, tea ceremonies and flower arrangements. With great pride, I crafted my Gion oil perfumes and personally gifted them to these icons of Japanese beauty, tradition and grace.
Winter Rose is the first perfume in my series of Gion oil perfumes.
crafted from the finest and most expensive natural materials in the world; rose otto, sandalwood, orris butter and agarwood to capture the warmth and hospitality of a Geisha Tea House in winter.

ALL 50ML MELEG PERFUMES ARE SECURED IN A WOODEN BOX
THIS WOODEN BOX REPRESENTS AN APPLE BIN
I managed my families "Meleg's Orchard," in a small south Ontario town until I was 25. The orchard started with Sam Meleg, a Slovak from the Provence of Vojvodina, former Kingdom of Serbia of the Austro Hungarian Empire. My work ethic, self deprecating humour and stubborn nature is reflective of my Slovak, peasant roots.
Here my cousins are laying crops into the "apple bin." My wooden perfume box is meant to represent apple bins. Be they rose, vetiver or jasmine farmers. Be they from India, Mexico, Canada or Iran - Meleg Perfumes celebrates farmers and artisans of all nations.
