Essentially Mia: Harnessing the Full Power of Aromatherapy

Unless you’ve got a cold, you’ve probably noticed their kiosks around the mall–because of the alluring mist and fragrance that surrounds the area.

The story of Mia Maison started, well, at home. Right at the then-backyard of founder Shirley L. Reyes, various fragrances and scents were being crafted and mixed to be shipped to various department stores across the metro. It wasn’t until 2006 when Mia Maison formally was formed and opened its first kiosk in Glorietta. Now, almost 10 years after, what started out as a start-up mom’s dream is now the leading local brand in home fragrances.

With more than 70 stores opened and maintained nationwide, Mia Maison is the premier brand in the Philippine Home Fragrance Market.  It’s dedication to crafting world-class products and mixes landed it a Superbrand seal last 2016.Recently, Mia Maison also opened their brand to franchising as well offering more Filipinos not just better smelling homes but better opportunity of livelihood!

Now, The House of Home Fragrance, Mia Maison, is introducing a new line called  Essentially Mia– featuring eight (8) distinct Essential Oils for the Filipino market to enjoy.

This new product line harnesses the full power of aromatherapy so  your living spaces won’t just smell great, it will also be a house wonderful therapeutic (and to some degree medicinal) benefits as well!

Essential oils ensure that the natural healing/ therapeutic properties of the plant remain intact and provides the fullest experience of the plants’ aroma.
