Being yourself. A phrase that seems obvious, yet few truly live by it. Mia Moore does. With an easygoing attitude, gratitude, and a calmness that only comes when one stops playing roles. "Every day I try to remind myself that there's no rush. That I'm perfectly fine exactly where I am. Be yourself, baby," she says with a smile that stays with you.
Circle of Scent is all about that – returning to oneself. Gathering around a table full of senses, where time slows down and intuition takes over space. Each guest delves into the stories of our perfumes, experiencing them one by one until they find the one that resonates most deeply with them.
Mia Moore chose Arabesque – a fragrance that carries femininity, tenderness, and quiet strength.
And we are not surprised at all. Arabesque smells of authenticity – just like her.
Mia is the type of personality you notice before she even enters the room.
A model, social light, and a woman who isn't afraid to be seen – not because she wants to, but because she simply is. Her energy combines lightness and depth, humor and introspection, courage and gentleness. "I am empathetic, unique, funny, creative. And uncompromisingly myself," she says with a certainty that isn't learned, but comes from acceptance.
She perceives beauty not as perfection, but as a balance between opposites. "If I were a scent, I would smell like a vanilla gingerbread," she laughs. "Everyone who knows me knows I've always smelled sweet. I've had the same scent since my first year of high school and I don't plan on giving it up." For her, scent is like a signature – a small act of loyalty to oneself.
Mia loves contrasts. A calm morning, a long breakfast in bed, a slow pace… and then the adrenaline of shows, spotlights, constant movement. "I like the contrast between completely different days," she admits. "Before a shoot, I light a cigarette, have a black coffee, and meditate for fifteen minutes. It calms me down, which I desperately need when I'm in front of the camera all day."
And when she needs to slow down, she seeks refuge in the simplest moments. "I feel the most peace when I have coffee on the porch with my grandma in Opava. Or when I order butter chicken, put on Studio Ghibli, and let the world be." It is perhaps this ability to combine calm and chaos, laughter and compassion, that makes her a person who inspires – without intending to inspire.
"Japan meant freedom to me," she recalls. "I felt most like myself there than at any other time in my life. I consider 2023 my happiest and most successful year."
And when she talks about the future, she looks ahead with perspective:
"Don’t stress, my love, cause I’ve been there. Sit with yourself and don’t be hard on yourself. It's perfectly okay not to know who you are. Try new things, and you'll figure it out in time."
