Chris Kumi, Hungary’s trailblazing perfume creator.
Before venturing into perfumery, Chris was a well-known figure in Hungary’s media industry, he was working on the biggest TV shows, like Big Brother or X-Factor, but in 2024, Chris swapped the screen for scents, turning a lifelong passion into art.
From a young age, Chris was captivated by the art of perfumery, exploring fragrances as a personal hobby. This passion took a professional turn when he met Viktoria Minya, Hungary’s most celebrated master perfumer. Under her mentorship, Chris honed his craft and built a strong connection with the award-winning perfumer, setting the foundation for his future in niche perfumery.
He launched Hungarykum in 2025, blending heritage and innovation in every bottle. Each fragrance is a bold tribute to Hungarian culture, crafted to captivate and inspire.
