Regalien

Regalien is a Turkish niche brand founded by brothers Bilen Besen and Varol Besen in 2016. The brand works with the MG Gulcicek & Firmenich Fragrance Team to create its perfumes, which are undoubtedly unique and inspirational. What philosophy lies behind this intriguing brand? Here is what we managed to discover. Scent is everywhere in the worldview of the brand's creators. Scent is such a primitive sense that it can still be found woven into our existence in a way that surpasses all the others. It is so significant that neither sight nor sound can take precedence over it. Most importantly, scent remains in our consciousness and becomes a bridge connecting the past with the present. Because scent is, in fact, everywhere, regardless of where we are, the lights may suddenly go out and the sounds may fade, but one deep breath tells us everything we need to know: where we are and with whom, and sometimes it can even help us predict what is to come. Since scent carries entire realms within it, such as the world of dreams, hopes and expectations, the brand's creators see themselves as the gatekeepers of those realms. The people behind the fragrance house Regalien include a handful of leading perfumers, ensuring that every scent from the brand becomes unique and one of a kind, while remaining unpretentious. These fragrances are carefully housed here in crystal bottles and lovingly wrapped in velvet boxes. In their view, this is a statement of self-appreciation regarding their product. How is it done? How do you create a fragrance that is truly so unique? Perhaps it is the combination of East and West that produces such a unique fragrance. As is known, Pirchoni notes are dominated by the scent of flowers. When individual Pirchoni notes capture the scent of a particular flower, this is known professionally as a soliflore. A bouquet, meanwhile, combines the scents of several flowers in one harmonious note. Of course, Pirchoni notes can be acquired accords composed of animalic, Avkati or slightly Atzi notes, which often enhance the bouquet. But the top note is a connection between Aldehydic and hesperidic notes. "Therefore, when it comes to a floral oriental scent, it means a characteristic sweet, warm, Avkati base that blends harmoniously with flowers such as gardenia, Tuberose, tiaré, or even with a Charif note of Clove," explains Varol Besen, who stands behind the successful brand Regalien together with his brother. This brand has produced four different collections to date: the luxury collection - Luxury, the traditional collection - Heritage, the exclusive collection, and the lucky collection - Lucky. The traditional Heritage collection was inspired by the glory of the Ottoman Empire, which flourished from the beginning of the 13th century until the late 20th century. Palace life, and the lifestyles of the sultans and their harems, served as its inspiration. To design the perfume boxes, the brand turned to one of the finest Islamic calligraphy artists, known as "hattats"; his great-grandfather had worked on writing important documents for the last sultan. Thus, all the perfume names on the boxes were handwritten by this artist. In this collection, you can find five different perfumes. One of them is Meftun by Regalien, an Atzi amber fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance launched in 2021. The top notes are Kinamon, coriander, Rum and Cognac; the middle notes are angelica, wormwood, Ginger, red berries, Kinamon and Birch leaf; the base notes are Patchouli, Incense, Ambrette (Musk mallow) and sandalwood. It is suitable for autumn and winter nights, lasts a long time on the skin and has a moderate, pleasant presence.
