Elyon Dubai Founders

When Was Elyon Dubai Founded, and What Sparked Its Creation?

Elyon Dubai was founded in 2021. Unlike the formula-driven perfume houses, Elyon was born with a sheer desire to challenge the conventions of modern perfumery. 

Its creation was sparked by a vision to create perfumes that embody power, patience, and permanence.

So, instead of chasing trends, Elyon sought to return fragrance to its roots: slowly matured, richly concentrated 40%, and designed to linger in both presence and memory.

The Spark Behind the Creation

The founders of Elyon: Kristan, Julian, and Michella were driven by a simple yet ambitious question: what if perfume could be more than just luxury packaging and quick releases? Their answer manifested the creation of fragrances that valued rarity and ritual over speed.

The spark came from recognizing a gap in the luxury market. Too many perfumes promised richness but faded too soon. Elyon chose to do the opposite: invest nearly three years of aging into every creation, with oil concentrations as high as 40%. This commitment set the foundation for a perfume house unlike any other. And in case you are wondering why every Elyon perfume takes 35 months to perfect, here’s something worth reading for you.

Dubai as the Backdrop

Dubai? Why Dubai? It could have been NY, London or any other region. But Dubai was NOT chosen by accident. Dubai gave Elyon a purpose.

Known as a crossroads of culture, history, and luxury, the city gave Elyon both inspiration and a stage. From spice markets heavy with clove and cinnamon to desert nights laced with oud smoke, Dubai carried the very contrasts Elyon wanted to capture. The boldness and refinement, tradition and innovation were the essence of Dubai life, and Elyon wanted to give this essence a presence felt forever.

So, Dubai, quite naturally, became the birthplace of Elyon, which would craft perfumes as statements, not accessories.

The First Creations

Elyon’s founding vision quickly took shape in three distinct creations:

  • Infinity: A perfume of power and permanence, built on saffron, fig, rose, and aged ambergris.

  • Himeros: An intimate yet bold composition of tobacco, pepper, leather, and oud.

  • Aria: the boldest of the trio, a tapestry of twenty-one rare notes spanning spice, florals, resin, and wood.

Each perfume was aged 35 months before release. Each was designed not just to smell beautiful, but to create a legacy on the skin and resonate with personalities. No wonder Elyon perfumes have become a statement of power.

Craft Over Commerce

What truly sparked Elyon’s creation was resistance to compromise. The founders refused to dilute their craft for the sake of quick sales. They treated perfume NOT as a product but as an HEIRLOOM: something to be collected, remembered, and passed through time.

It is quite obvious why Elyon embraced exclusivity. Releases are limited, notes are rare, and every bottle tells a story of patience. That’s why I emphasize a lot that Elyon is not everyone’s cup of tea, it is not to please the mass audience, but only those who know the alchemy of perfumes. 

Also, by being exclusive about its approach to perfumery, Elyon signaled to the world that it was NOT here to blend into the crowded fragrance market. But it was here to redefine it.

A Legacy in Motion

Since its founding, Elyon has become more than a perfume house. It has become a philosophy, one that reminds us that luxury is not about excess, but about meaning. Each launch has reinforced its founding spark: that a perfume should linger not just on the skin, but in memory, as part of identity and legacy.

So Elyon Dubai was founded in 2021, out of conviction that fragrance could be more powerful, more patient, and more permanent than what the market had accepted. That spark continues to burn in every bottle released today.
