MEA is a natural perfume oil crafted in New Zealand (NZ) with sustainably hand-harvested Taramea. It is a sacred treasure species traditionally worn by Māori ancestors and blended with the highest quality fragrance ingredients.
Collectively this combination brings you distinct perfumes to remind you of Aotearoa.
Together they weave a thread in the story of an innovative and resourceful people – Ngāi Tahu.
MEA is brought to you by Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki with the support of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. We aim to revive and share the Ngāi Tahu cultural practice of perfume making with the world, telling the story of our long and special relationship with Taramea.
