Per AQUUM’s Residents@NIYAMA Programme is excited to be hosting Alli Sim of aromatherapy atelier, Mmerci Encore, this May 19th – 25th, 2013. Taking up exclusive residency at Per AQUUM’s flagship LIME Spa at NIYAMA for one week, Alli will be immersing guests into her artisanal preparations inspired by bathing and bedtime rituals.

The former Beauty Editor of Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, Alli Sim spent her childhood in the Australian outdoors cultivating her love for flora and natural small batch beauty. Alli divides her time between Singapore where she is based and Australia and France, where she sources fresh raw materials and the purest essential oils. Mmerci Encore is a beauty ritual that celebrates the little things in life. 

‘We create at-home spa regimens, feel good luxuries to enjoy every day. Made-to-measure essential oil scrubs with organic sugar and 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils,’ says Alli Sim. Alli creates custom blends for her clients who then personalise their everyday living spaces with their own signature scents. Mmerci Encore also produce hydrosols or the distilled essence of flowers for facial mists, botanical bath concoctions, aromatherapeutic essential oil blends, hand-poured beeswax candles and goat’s milk soap. Using only all-natural ingredients where possible, Alli sources them personally on her regular travels. Hand-made, hand-blended and holistic, forms the foundation of Mmerci Encore’s atelier. ‘All our products contain zero parabens, preservatives, sulphates, PEGs and fillers. All our products are crafted and curated with love.’

Working exclusively with Per AQUUM’s Group Director of Spas, Jason Sloan, Mmerci Encore and LIME Spa will be offering guests the opportunity to create a complete personalised spa ritual experience. ‘We will aroma every aspect of your spa journey!’ says Jason.
