Your questions

Our answers

What is the meaning behind Hungarykum?
icon

Hungarykum is a fragrance collection inspired by Hungarian legends, landscapes, moods, and cultural motifs. It is not a reproduction, but a reinterpretation — expressed through modern perfumery.

What makes these scents different from conventional fragrances?
icon

Rather than chasing trends, Hungarykum fragrances are built around narrative. Every scent evolves in distinct stages, beginning with fresh top notes, transitioning into a defined heart, and settling into a long lasting base. From the first moments to the 10 to 12 hour dry down, each composition offers a continuous sensory experience, making every wear a journey.

Are Hungarykum fragrances unisex?
icon

Hungarykum fragrances are inspired by stories and places, not marketing strategies. Each creation is designed as a unisex scent, allowing it to be worn freely by anyone, regardless of gender.

What is the concentration of Hungarykum perfumes?
icon

Hungarykum fragrances contain 25 percent perfume oils and 75 percent bio ethyl alcohol, classifying them as extrait de parfum. Our compositions are free from IPM and DPG solvents, ensuring a pure and refined olfactory experience.

What do IPM and DPG stand for?
icon

IPM (Isopropyl Myristate) and DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) are commonly used, colorless and odorless ingredients in perfumery. While they can extend longevity, they often flatten the fragrance, disrupting the natural evolution of top, heart, and base notes. Hungarykum fragrances are crafted without IPM or DPG to preserve a fully unfolding olfactory experience.

What is the longevity of Hungarykum scents?
icon

Depending on skin type, Hungarykum fragrances typically last between 8 and 12 hours on the skin.

Are the fragrances produced in limited batches?
icon

Yes, Hungarykum is actively involved in multiple collaborations. The first release, Hungarykum Hunor Edition, was developed alongside the HUNOR space program, a distinguished initiative supported by Hungary’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

What bottles are Hungarykum fragrances presented in?
icon

All Hungarykum fragrances are offered in 30 ml and 89.5 ml sizes, housed in unique, hand made porcelain bottles. The form is inspired by the classic pálinka flask, reinterpreted for perfumery, with a cap shaped from an inverted shot glass as a nod to tradition.

What makes Hungarian lavender unique?
icon

Hungarykum fragrances feature Hungarian lavender, a plant with deep historical roots. It was used as early as the 1320s in the first modern perfume, known as the Queen of Hungary’s Water. Today, it is rarely cultivated, as English lavender has become more widely favored. By using Hungarian lavender exclusively sourced for the brand, Hungarykum preserves both its uniqueness and exceptional quality.

What does the term extrait de Hungarorum represent?
icon

Each fragrance captures the essence of Hungarian identity, which is why it carries the name Extrait de Hungarorum.
