Mikmoi
Slow scent in tiny batches from San Francisco.
Mikmoi is a San Francisco-based artisan fragrance house founded in 2013 by Michael Coyle, a self-trained perfumer who approaches the craft through a lens of slow, material-focused creation. Coyle works in small batches and has developed a philosophy of restraint: fewer releases, more careful execution, and a preference for letting materials breathe rather than forcing complexity. The house is direct-to-consumer and does not pursue mainstream retail distribution, which allows Coyle to maintain full creative control over formula and presentation. Releases tend toward natural and botanically grounded compositions, reflecting the Bay Area indie perfumery aesthetic of the 2010s. Mikmoi is positioned at the niche price tier, with pricing consistent with artisan production costs. The house has a modest but loyal following within American independent perfumery communities and is often cited as an example of principled small-scale fragrance practice.
