Chris Kumi: A Hungarian Perfume Visionary
Chris Kumi, a Hungarian perfume creator, boasts a career as dynamic as the fragrances he crafts. Before delving into perfumery, he was a prominent figure in Hungary’s media landscape, collaborating with the nation’s largest television networks to produce internationally acclaimed shows likeBig Brother,X-Factor, andPower Couple. His innovative contributions solidified his status in entertainment, yet a lifelong passion for scent quietly simmered beneath the surface.
From childhood, Chris was enthralled by the art of perfumery, initially exploring fragrances as a personal hobby. This passion evolved professionally when he crossed paths with Viktoria Minya, Hungary’s most revered master perfumer. Under Minya’s mentorship, Chris sharpened his craft and formed a profound bond with the award-winning perfumer, laying the groundwork for his foray into niche perfumery.
In 2024, Chris foundedHungarykum Kft., his independent perfume house, dedicated to crafting scents inspired by Hungarian heritage. By 2025, he launchedHungarykum by Chris Kumi, debuting three distinct fragrances that weave tradition with artistic ingenuity. Each creation mirrors his deep-rooted connection to Hungarian culture and his innovative approach to storytelling through olfaction.
Chris Kumi’s work seamlessly merges his creative prowess in media with his olfactory passion, yielding fragrances that are both evocative and culturally resonant. His brand stands as a testament to his commitment: honoring Hungary’s legacy while pushing the frontiers of perfumery as an art form.
