In this episode of Olfactive Melbourne, we’re joined by Maryka and Masey, the passionate duo behind Malano, a Tasmanian perfume house crafting emotionally resonant fragrances that draw from memory, nature, and long-form creativity.

From the original L’Scents collection to the bold and textured Cigar Spice line, Malano’s approach is rooted in story, material, and time. Each composition reflects their commitment to high quality Tasmania ingredients, innovative structure, and a deep emotional connection to the natural world.

In this note-by-note masterclass, we explore Cigar Whisky, a smoky, spiced composition chosen to anchor the episode, before turning to the heart of their original collection with L’Mase, a scent developed for co-founder Masey. We also preview their upcoming limited release L’Nero, an exciting launch set for late November, and discuss how the evolving Cigar range continues to unfold with creations like Cigar Vert and Cigar Fleur.

We also learn how Maryka and Masey’s deep connection to Tasmania’s landscape and their long-view planning are shaping new fragrances through to 2028—while recent collaborations, like their interior scent for Hobart’s Economic Development Council, reveal how Malano is helping define the olfactory identity of place.
