MEFTUN

Meftun is a unisex extrait de parfum by Régalien, the Istanbul house that reinterprets the timeless traditions of the Ottoman palaces with a modern touch. It is a daring, seductive spicy woody fragrance that tells of passion and mystery.

The Fragrance

Meftun is inspired by the captivating past of the Ottoman harem and its regal elegance: as you walk through the palace corridors, you hear a passionate call coming from afar. Tefarik, known today as patchouli and among the most used palace scents, has been reinterpreted by the house's master perfumers with aromas that reflect this passion. A perfume true to its name, which evokes passion: a vibrant call echoing from the past. Like all the creations of the Heritage Collection, it is made in Istanbul and enclosed in a coloured glass bottle with a golden cap, on whose label the name is traced in calligraphy.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is daring: the spark of cinnamon and coriander gives way to the intoxicating notes of rum and cognac. The heart reveals a vivid, fresh and herbal bouquet of ginger, wormwood, red berries, birch leaves and angelica seeds. The base unfolds into a deep, sensual trail of patchouli, incense, ambrette, musk and sandalwood.

Who We Recommend Meftun To

We recommend Meftun to those who love spicy, woody perfumes with a liqueur-like note and are looking for a fragrance of presence and character. It is perfect from autumn to spring, for evenings, special occasions and for those who want to be remembered. Unisex, it wins over those who want an intense, mysterious and sensual perfume.
