More than a name, Kalyna is a legacy of beauty, strength, and love.
Kalyna Fragrances:
A Name Rooted in Nature, Beauty, and Strength
Kalyna is more than just a name. It's a symbol of resilience, love, and the timeless power of nature. Inspired by the viburnum opulus, which is also known as the guelder rose, this plant holds deep meaning in Ukrainian culture and heritage.
A Symbol of Strength & Legacy
In Ukrainian tradition, planting a kalyna bush outside the home is believed to bring good fortune and health.
The plant’s ability to survive harsh conditions and still bloom beautifully has made it a powerful symbol of endurance and legacy.
The same strength that defines Kalyna, blooms in every woman who wears our perfume.
The Heart of Ukrainian Identity
The kalyna berry is more than a botanical treasure, it carries the heart of a nation. Its seeds are heart-shaped, a reflection of the deep-rooted love for Ukraine.
Across generations, the plant has symbolized national pride, sprouting even through adversity and emerging stronger.
It’s a living metaphor for the spirit of women who remain radiant and strong no matter the challenges they face.
A Legacy of Beauty & Feminine Ritual
The kalyna plant, with its delicate white flowers and vibrant red berries, grows up to 15 feet tall and has long been cherished in Ukrainian folk medicine. More than just a healing plant, it symbolizes the beauty of women.
For centuries, Ukrainian women turned to kalyna berries as natural makeup. They would crush the berries to create rich red tints for lipstick and blush.
We infuse these same qualities into every bottle of Kalyna perfume.
