Our Story
From 895
to low Earth orbit.
HUNGARYKUM is a perfumery rooted in Hungarian myth, geography and contemporary triumph — four chapters of a single country, translated into scent.
The Miraculous Stag
Csodaszarvas — the legend of Hunor and Magor.
Long before maps, two brothers — Hunor and Magor — chased a white stag with antlers like burning silver. The stag led them across rivers and steppe until it vanished into the marshes of the Carpathian basin. There they stayed. There Hungary began. The origin scent — bergamot, smoked oud, paprika absolute and amber — bottles that arrival: the smell of new earth and a stag's breath in cold air.

Tihany & Hungarian Lavender
Where Benedictine monks sowed violet drifts above Balaton.
On the volcanic peninsula of Tihany, lavender was first planted in 1926 by a French émigré, Gyula Bittera, on advice from monks of the 11th-century abbey. The microclimate — limestone, dry wind, lake reflection — produces an essence prized for its clarity. Our Tihany composition is that exact afternoon: lemon zest, green lavender and rosemary, settling into white musk and warm stone.

Balaton — Memorial Shores
Childhood summers around the longest lake in Central Europe.
Every Hungarian carries one Balaton memory: a wooden pier, melting ice cream, water reed under the foot, the smell of wet pebbles at first light. The lake is short on salt but long on memory — generations of summers compressed into a single shoreline. Balaton the perfume is freshwater and driftwood — a cucumber-cool opening, lily of the valley over wet stone, then vetiver and soft amber as the sun lowers.

HUNOR Edition — Kapu Tibor's Journey
A scent for the second Hungarian to leave Earth.
In 2025, mechanical engineer Tibor Kapu launched aboard Axiom Mission 4 to the International Space Station — the first Hungarian in orbit since 1980. His mission, HUNOR, carried Hungarian science 400 km above the Carpathian basin. This edition imagines what he might have smelled looking down at home: ozone and cold steel of the cupola, iris and Carpathian fir for the green below, then black amber, leather and smoked vanilla — the warmth of return.
