Allison Stubbings is a remarkable figure in the fragrance industry. She is the founder of Medeau, a clean perfume company established in June 2019, with the ambition to revolutionize the industry by providing a clean and luxurious alternative to traditional perfume brands.
Before venturing into the perfume business, Allison had experiences in editorial services. From August 2015 to April 2017, she worked as a freelance proofreader for her own editorial services. And from May 2013 to July 2015, she served as a production editor at I.B. Tauris & Co Ltd.
The idea for Medeau was born from Allison's personal experience. In 2016, when she struggled to conceive, she and her husband made various health and lifestyle changes, including choosing safer cosmetics and perfumes. However, Allison couldn't find a perfume that was as luxurious as the ones she was accustomed to, like Dior, while also being free from harmful ingredients. This led her to create Medeau's fragrances, which are 100% vegan, use sustainably sourced ingredients, and are allergen - free. Each ingredient has laboratory research backing its safety, ensuring it's not a carcinogen or hormone disruptor.
Medeau's offerings include a range of fragrances, each with its own unique character. For example, "Daydreamer" combines elderflower, peony, and jasmine, balanced by bergamot and heliotrope. "Lost in the forest" features warm amber, sharp anise, complemented by cedarwood and guaiacwood for a sense of serenity. These scents not only offer a pleasant olfactory experience but also carry mood - boosting properties, helping users unlock feelings of serenity, energy, and optimism. In 2023, Medeau's fragrance was even named "Perfume of the Year" by The Independent, a testament to Allison's success in creating high - quality, clean perfumes.
