Welcome to the world of MOR.
The Story Behind the Brand
MOR is the inspired expression of Designers Dianna Burmas and Deon St.Mor. Following their mutual passion and sense for travel, fashion, food, the arts, exploration and discovery, they began their collaboration in 1998 where their first design studio was opened on a cobblestone laneway in Melbourne.
Their initial product releases which were sourced globally included contemporary lighting, homewares, soft furnishings and experimental categories such as perfumery and aromatherapy.
The pair was further inspired by the traditional methods of apothecary and the endless possibilities it presented of blending old time ingredients with modern technologies.
From here a contemporary lifestyle range was created that included soaps, massage oils and candles. This was the beginning of a brand that would be globally successful and renowned for being the pioneering creator of bath, body and lifestyle products.
In the midst of finalising their plans, in May 2001 whist travelling in New Delhi, a street sign was spotted with the word ‘MOR’ on it, which translated to Peacock in Hindi. This struck a chord with both Dianna and Deon and on their return to Melbourne, MOR was established.
All the MOR collections combine the duo’s flair for design and passions for life; where anything from an ancient tradition to an exceptional experience initiates the creation of a unique story and collection that are continually refined and developed to capture the essence of luxury and well being.
From the product’s initial inception, much care is taken in creating the finely blended formulations, selecting an elegant and unique mix of fragrances, and decadently encased in original and extravagant packaging.
Today, MOR presents an array of over 150 exquisite and exceptional products in a variety of collections, all presented in covetable packaging with distinctive fragrances.
Admired the world over by consumers and the beauty industry alike, MOR continually strives to push the industry’s boundaries and create luxuriously rich products to take one on a sensory journey. With a cult-like following, MOR is available across the globe in savvy beauty and lifestyle emporiums, and in some of the most desirable department stores and destination spas.
