Meet the founders
Perfumer and aromatherapist Michelle Wranik-Hicks studied perfumery in Italy under celebrated natural perfumer, Abdes Salaam Attar. The experience changed everything, sparking a fascination with essential oils and the science behind scent.
Today, in between perfumery practice and aromatherapy studies, Michelle and co-founder Michal Hicks dedicate their time to growing Appellation, experimental botanical chemistry, and exploring science-backed wellness practices from around the world.

Appellation inspiration
It was 20th-century writer Marcel Proust who coined the term “involuntary memory”, the sensory déjà vu of a childhood memory triggered by a certain aroma.
Our name is drawn from this experience – the recollection of scent memories. It derives from the French verb “appeler”, “to call (by a name)”, and the Latin “appellare”, which means “to summon”.
