In the company Stillmark d.o.o., the exclusive representative for the brand L’OCCITANE en Provence for Slovenia, in 2014, we decided to cooperate with Mrs. Melani Kovač. As essential oils and hydrolats are one of the key active ingredients in L’OCCITANE products, we organized a lecture on the topic Introduction to aromatherapy and the use of essential oils and hydrolats in cosmetics under the guidance of Melani. The purpose of the lecture was to consolidate and deepen the expertise of our beauty consultants. Melani overwhelmed us with her knowledge and sincere love for these precious essences of nature. Her lecture was professional, dynamic, interactive, and practical. Everyone attending the workshop remains extremely satisfied with its implementation. We effectively use the newly acquired knowledge in consulting collections and products based on essential oils and floral waters. We successfully pass on the enthusiasm for these natural ingredients with miraculous power to our customers.

Woww!!! It is like coming out of the “dark ages”… Thanks for the class. It is not too much chemistry for me because it is so colorful and fun.

Melani’s approach to aromatherapy (especially chemistry) is innovative, fresh, deep and fun all rolled into one. I consider her our worldwide Aroma Genius.

I would like to express my sincere, unreserved admiration for Melani as an Aromatherapy teacher! Her knowledge is profound, highly professional, practically useful, and applicable to all levels of skill and expertise. She teaches with ease the most complex topics, so they become simple to understand, easy to integrate into one’s former training and apply in practice – the rare skill of those who live the Aromatherapy with the fullness of their being. Her mind is brilliant, her passion infectious! A unique treasury of knowledge in Aromatherapy at its best.

I absolutely LOVE Dropsmith! And I love our Power Drops course! I go on every day and check out different conditions and then look at which are the best oils for that condition. I’m always surprised at what I find!

We are extremely grateful for this transfer of knowledge. It is a very new view point in aromatherapy: not based on books but on live constantly growing scientific database of knowledge and on precise chemical blueprint of each individual oil. This brings long awaited novel approach into knowing and using our beloved essential oils. It was a breakthrough for us and we greatly appreciate your effort to bring it to us.

I have been working with Melani since 2013. I met her through her aromatherapy education when we lectured together several times at the same educational events. I recommend her expertise (which is constantly updated) and correct pedagogical approach. For these reasons, Melani was invited to lecture at the professional training ‘SCIENTIFIC-CRITICAL VIEW OF COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE II’ in 2016. Having the opportunity to listen and work with Melani (in the past years), she showed excellent teaching skills, including quality communication and flexible response. On top of that, she treats her students and listeners in a friendly, tolerant, and respectful manner. In addition to the above, our many years of cooperation have proved her extraordinary ability and willingness to cooperate.
