BREATH OF BIRCH
“Song of Birch Trees”
Birch trees gift us an oil that carries the quiet whisper of wintergreen—a cool, bright note that feels like a distant snowfall. To reveal this essence at its finest, I sought a foundation worthy of its clarity and spirit.
I begin with Oudh, rich and tenacious, offering a smoky, resinous woodiness that anchors the blend. Into this base, I fold the tender buds of Poplar and the soft, powdery elegance of Orris Root, letting them mellow and round its edges.
From there, floral currents drift in—Ylang Ylang with its luminous sweetness, and Rose Otto with its delicate, petaled warmth. Fine spice notes rise to meet them: the earthy depth of Angelica Root and the ancient, grounding breath of Spikenard. These bring a faint, evocative smokiness, encouraging Breath of Birch to ripen into its full character.
At the top, bright fruits—Tangerine and Orange—lift the blend, adding a spark of sunlight above the dusky woods.
Breath of Birch is unmistakably its own. A glimmer of wintergreen, a chorus of wood, flower, and fruit—all weaving together into a scent that feels both wild and refined.
“This blend sings to the ones who are different, who move to their own quiet rhythm. Celebrate your singular path with Breath of Birch.”
At MRF, we craft with reverence — choosing to step lightly on the earth.
We forgo nearly all animal-derived ingredients, honoring instead the quiet generosity of the hive: honey, beeswax, and propolis, gathered in golden threads. Our essences remain truly clean, shaped only by what feels honest and whole.
No parabens or phthalates, no silicones or PEGs, no artificial dyes, BHT, BHA, or sulfates — nothing that dulls the wild, living heart of the plants.
MRF NATURAL OIL PURFUMES
Our MRF Scents are crafted to be deep, resonant, and wonderfully long-lasting. Each Essence is blended with care—most at 20% to 26% dilution, with select Eau-de-Parfums at 15% for those who prefer something a little lighter. While Eau-de-Parfum won’t linger quite as long as our Perfume Essences, its richness and fragrance remain beautifully present—simply reapply as desired.
MRF blends are composed of Essential Oils, Absolutes, Tinctures, Extracts, and Resins, creating fragrances that unfold slowly and generously. Anchored by a rich foundational accord, each Essence carries its heart and head notes with depth and elegance. Because they are made from true natural oils, they evolve on the skin—responding to your warmth, your chemistry, your individuality.
How to Explore an MRF Essence
Begin with a gentle dab on pulse points: the wrist, the inner elbow, behind the knees, or just under the ears. Allow the oil to settle on the skin—avoid rubbing, so the molecules can bloom naturally. As the top notes lift and soften, the deeper heart reveals itself, followed by a warm, lingering dry-down unique to each wearer. Give the blend time… and it will show you its full story.
Why We Choose Ethanol
We prefer ethanol as the carrier in our MRF blends. It cradles our thick, resinous oils beautifully, giving each Essence a smooth, clear, and well-rounded profile. Natural Essential Oils dissolve best in ethanol, ensuring a more polished blend—and the added benefit of longevity, as ethanol acts as an excellent natural preservative. Of course, if you prefer an oil-based carrier, we are always happy to craft your Essence that way. Your satisfaction remains at the heart of all we do. ❣️

MORE ABOUT MRF
Each Essence is created in very small batches, in a tiny home lab nestled high in the rural mountains of British Columbia. From the blending table, the Rocky Mountains rise in quiet majesty—cedar, spruce, and sky becoming silent companions to the work. It is from this place of stillness and nature that MRF Essences are born.
The moment you open an MRF bottle, the fragrance greets you with its brightest notes. As it settles on your skin, it begins its journey—shifting, deepening, revealing its middle and base notes in time. And when it rests fully, you meet the final whisper: the dry-down.
