Pekji
Pekji is an independent, artisanal Turkish perfume brand founded by self-taught perfumer, Omer Ipekci in 2018. But before Pekji’s formal launch in 2018, it was a small underground perfume outfit well known to perfume enthusiasts, whose hardcore support for the perfumes convinced Omer to produce the fragrances for a wider audience. Omer operates out of his homeland of Turkey, the emotional birthplace of his art. Ruh, Odoon, Eaumer, Battaniye, and a new composition, Zeybek, form part of re:collection, in recognition that this is a putting back together of perfumes past and present. Each one of the 5 perfumes in the Pekji collection feel personal, rooted in Omer’s own experience as a Turk and as a sometimes inhabitant of cultures not his own. His perfumes speak to a knitting together of cultural experiences common to all of humanity.
