Hello,
I'm Melissa

Meet the Distiller

I’m a founder and distiller in St. Augustine, Florida. At Madame Moon Co., I work with locally harvested botanicals, copper-distilled into hydrosols.

It Started With Cedar
and a Copper Alembic

Distilling grew naturally out of a lifelong love of plants and herbalism.
My very first distillation was Cedar, in a small copper alembic, and I've been captivated ever since.

Where It Began

Locally Harvested,
Slowly Distilled

Lavender, Tea Tree, Lemongrass, Aloe, Anise, Rosemary, Basil, Cedar and Cardamom are among the many plants I work with.
Each hydrosol carries its own aroma and character.

The Botanicals

These are plant allies for the long haul.
So get planted, and stay lifted.
