APPELLES was born from the ideas that founder Paul Tsalikis nurtured throughout his travels around the world. It embodies a refined and luxurious experience, an awakening of the senses and emotions, and a state of joy intertwined with relaxation and comfort. Paul Tsalikis studied and synthesized all of these elements to create the premium Australian brand known today as APPELLES.

And since it all began with travel, it’s no surprise that APPELLES focuses on distribution partnerships with 5-star hotels and resorts rather than following the traditional retail path. In Vietnam, you can find this luxury brand—which is distributed across 35 countries—at renowned hotels such as MGallery, Vinpearl, and The Myst. Currently, APPELLES offers a total of four collections designed exclusively for hotels: the Classic Collection, Green Collection, Black Collection, and the Little Luxuries Collection for children.
First, let’s explore the first two collections: the Classic and Green Collections!
Classic Collection
This is APPELLES’ first collection, with ingredients centered around five key natural ingredients: wheat protein, Planifolia orchid, lotus flower, cinnamon bark, and rosemary. The Classic Collection focuses on gently cleansing and nourishing the body and hair.
+ Wheat Protein Shampoo: The protein ingredients help strengthen hair and scalp, while the scent of Green Mallee eucalyptus combined with lemongrass provides a refreshing sensation that helps you relax and clear your mind.
+ Planifolia Orchid Conditioner: The scent of orchids blends with Kakadu plum and the deep notes of Australian sandalwood to create a unique experience that is both warm and rich, yet soft and airy with floral notes.
+ Comfrey Hand & Body Wash: Thanks to comfrey, which soothes the skin and reduces irritation, this APPELLES hand and body wash is suitable even for the most sensitive skin. And it doesn’t just leave your skin feeling smoother—the Australian lemon myrtle, sandalwood, and Rosalina tea tree in the formula also create a warm, comforting sensation that surrounds you all day long.
+ Vitamin B5 Skin Lotion: Cinnamon bark—an ingredient in this product—not only has antibacterial properties and protects the skin but also offers a warm, earthy scent. This scent blends with the freshness of mandarin peel and rosemary to provide you with a unique olfactory experience.
+ Rosemary Hand & Body Bar: While the essential oils of Niaouli and lemon verbena soothe the mind and bring a sense of calm, rosemary deeply cleanses the body while stimulating circulation, leaving your skin feeling healthier.
+ Lemon Verbena Hand Sanitizer: With lemon verbena, your hands will be thoroughly sanitized, reducing any swelling or inflammation and leaving them feeling fresh and invigorated.
Green Collection
While the Classic Collection focuses more on a gentle sensory experience, the Green Collection is a refreshing, eco-friendly note that awakens all the senses.
+ Red Rosella Shampoo & Conditioner: Not only is red rosella beneficial for health when consumed as a beverage, but it also works wonders for your hair. This flower helps restore damaged, dull hair without irritating sensitive scalps. Additionally, the harmonious blend of fragrant mandarin, warm, slightly spicy clove buds, and a hint of jasmine will evoke feelings of joy and celebration within you.
+ Davidson Plum Hand & Body Wash / Skin Lotion: Although not very familiar to Vietnamese people, the Davidson plum is extremely famous on the international market, where it’s hailed as a “superfruit” from Australia with outstanding anti-aging properties. Combined with geranium—known for its pore-tightening properties—this blend helps you achieve soft, smooth, tightened, and plump skin. Additionally, the product provides a refreshing mental boost thanks to its sweet citrus notes and black currant essential oil.
+ Hibiscus Hand & Body Bar: With its ability to deeply cleanse without drying out or irritating the skin—while locking in moisture and retaining hydration—and its delightful fragrance, hibiscus extract is a unique and indispensable ingredient in this product. Furthermore, the scents of vetiver root and geranium leaves add a grassy note to the product’s fragrance profile, allowing you to experience a refreshing sensation as if you were strolling through a lush forest.
The Classic Collection and Green Collection are among the lines Appelles has created exclusively for luxury 5-star hotels and resorts. Each collection features distinct highlights, scents, and benefits, yet all are backed by a commitment to the highest quality standards. Of course, the Black Collection and Little Luxuries Collection are no exception. Be sure not to miss these two collections in our next article!
