An ode to aging and craftsmanship — a thick, resinous vanilla perfume that unfolds like a forgotten letter discovered inside an old leather-bound book.
Antique Vanilla Elixir is a rich gourmand-amber perfume built around aged Madagascar vanilla absolute, labdanum, and orris butter. It opens with tinctured boozy strawberries and cognac, revealing a heart of deep vanilla beans co-tinted with patchouli, anise, cinnamon, and fennel, before settling into a smooth, resinous base of 4-year aged vanilla absolute, labdanum, and 5-year aged benzoin absolute.
Handcrafted in Canada by perfumer Matthew Meleg, Antique Vanilla Elixir is made in small batches using a high concentration of natural materials, including long-aged vanilla, labdanum, and benzoin absolutes — slowly matured for maximum depth and complexity. Each bottle is blended, aged, and finished with the care of an artisan perfume house.

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.
