Winter Rose: Perfume One in the Gion Series of Scents
Notes:
- Rose Otto
- Ambergris
- Orris Butter
- Mysore Sandalwood
- Agarwood
Description: Winter Rose is the inaugural fragrance in my Gion Series, inspired by the timeless elegance of the Maiko and Geisha of Gion in Kyoto, Japan. This all-natural perfume is a tribute to the rich cultural heritage and refined artistry of these iconic women.
Having called Tokyo home for nearly a decade, I frequently traveled to Kyoto, the ancient capital, where I forged lasting friendships with fellow artisans, gardeners, and craftsmen in textiles, woodcraft, and leatherwork. My deep appreciation for the arts naturally led me to the captivating world of Geisha culture.
In English, Geisha translates to “artist.” These extraordinary women excel in various arts, including music, dance, calligraphy, tea ceremonies, and flower arrangements. With great pride and respect, I crafted my Gion oil perfumes, personally gifting them to these paragons of Japanese beauty, tradition, and grace.
Winter Rose, the first perfume in this series, is crafted from the finest and most luxurious natural materials: Rose Otto, Mysore Sandalwood, Orris Butter, and Agarwood. This exquisite blend captures the warmth and hospitality of a Geisha Tea House in winter, enveloping you in an embrace of serene elegance and timeless charm.

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.
