A Fragrance Inspired by the Legend of the Miraculous Deer
Step into the rich tapestry of Hungarian heritage with Hungarykum by Chris Kumi, a fragrance that invites you on a sensory journey back to 895 CE—the era of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin. This scent is a tribute to the legendary tale of the Miraculous Deer, a divine guide that led the brothers Hunor and Magor to their promised land, shaping the destiny of the Magyar people.
The Journey Begins: Nomadic Life
The fragrance opens with smoky BBQ accords, evoking the warmth of a nomadic lifestyle by the campfire. Leather notes transport you to a time when rugged garments and untamed landscapes defined existence. These initial scents immerse you in the raw vigor of Hungary’s ancestral roots.
The Pursuit: Following the Miraculous Deer
As the story unfolds, Hunor and Magor embark on their quest, chasing the ethereal deer through forests and mountains. The heart notes capture this pursuit with animalic accords—horse, deer, musk, and castoreum—blending seamlessly to reflect the wilderness and divine mystery of their journey. The earthy tones mirror their resilience and connection to nature as they traverse uncharted terrain.
Arrival: The Carpathian Basin
The base notes celebrate their arrival at the Carpathian Basin, a land of abundance and beauty where they chose to settle. Woody accords symbolize the ancient forests, while floral notes reflect the vibrant flora that greeted them. Together, these elements create a harmonious finish that embodies permanence and prosperity.A Fragrance Rooted in Legend
Hungarykum is more than a scent—it is an olfactory retelling of Hungary’s foundational legend. Inspired by the Miraculous Deer, which symbolizes divine guidance, renewal, and destiny, this fragrance captures the essence of courage and discovery that defines Hungarian identity.
Let Hungarykum transport you to a time when myths shaped nations and every scent told a story of timeless tradition.
