Régalien

Régalien is a Turkish niche perfume house founded in Istanbul in 2016 by brothers Bilen and Varol Besen. Multiple retailers and brand partners describe the line as drawing on Turkish perfumery traditions and the cultural blend of Istanbul as a key source of inspiration.[1][2][3] The brand positions itself squarely in the niche segment, working with established fragrance creation firms and perfumers rather than operating as a mass market label.[1][3][6]

From the outset, Régalien has collaborated with MG Gülçiçek and the Firmenich/dsm-firmenich fragrance team, as well as named perfumers such as Koray Sevinç, Cara Sylvain and Jorge Lee on specific compositions. Public databases and retailer listings indicate that the first Régalien perfumes appeared in 2016, and that the catalog has grown to several dozen fragrances released over the following years.[6] The house frequently explores unisex formulas and structures its offerings into collections, including the Ceremony line, which is explicitly described as being inspired by royal rituals.[3]

Retail partners describe Régalien’s concept as interpreting long-standing traditions through a more contemporary lens, often referencing Istanbul’s role as a meeting point of different cultures.[1][2][6] The brand is distributed through specialist and high-end niche retailers in Europe and beyond, reinforcing its positioning as a selective perfume house rather than a mainstream designer brand.[2][6][8]
