The Story Behind Luminaryan
Some friendships are meant to be. They shape us, change us, and stay with us wherever we go.
​
Leyla is the moon to my sun. She keeps me balanced, and she’s the kind of person who makes life more meaningful, turning even the simplest moments into something special. We would stay up all night talking about anything and everything, and she had this way of making people feel seen—like they belonged, like they mattered. And she matters more to me than words can say.
When she passed, I lost a part of myself that I’ll never get back. But if there’s one thing I know, it’s that the people we love never truly leave us. Their presence stays with us, becoming part of who we are.
That’s why we created Luminaryan—not just as a brand, but as a way to honor the friendships that shape us. It’s a tribute to the people who make us who we are, the connections that never fade, and the stories we carry with us forever.
The name Leyla means dark beauty, and Luca means bringer of light. Our friendship has always embodied this symbolism. Leyla is my other half—our differences keep us balanced. My dream is to shine a light on her story the way the sun lights up the moon.
​
In astrology, the sun and the moon are known as the two great luminaries. They represent the balance between day and night, action and reflection, presence and memory. Luminaryan carries that same essence—the invisible thread that ties kindred spirits together, even across time and space.
Have you ever smelled something that evoked an unexplainable emotion? A feeling of nostalgia, happiness, or comfort? Our perfumes will be crafted in the South of France, a place known for its artistry, tradition, and deep connection to the world of fragrance. Every scent will be designed to hold meaning, evoke emotion, and become part of someone’s personal story.
​
Fragrance isn’t just something we wear; it becomes part of our identity. Finding a unique scent that truly resonates with you can be life-changing.
We know Luminaryan will help people find connections through our fragrances.
Beyond crafting timeless perfumes, we are committed to supporting charities that celebrate friendship, mentorship, and the power of human connection. A portion of Luminaryan’s proceeds will go toward organizations that bring people together—whether through programs that foster lifelong friendships, initiatives that support communities, or causes that create spaces where no one feels alone.
Just as scent has the power to connect us to memories, we believe in using this brand to create something bigger than ourselves—something that gives back and honors the relationships that shape us.
This journey is only beginning, and I can’t wait to share more. Over the next few months, our team will take you behind the scenes into the creative process, the inspiration, and the vision shaping Luminaryan.
If you’ve ever had a friendship that changed you, a connection that left a mark on your soul, then Luminaryan is for you.
Thank you for being here.
Welcome to Luminaryan.
