Our Story
Soul Of Cappadocia
My passion for perfume is actually a continuation of my passion for smell. I have always been fascinated by Adana's orange groves and its scorching atmosphere, Germany's forests and lakes that make you feel reborn, and the wonderful scents rising from its bakeries. Izmir, where I studied at university, offered me flowers, fruits and vegetables and a magnificent sea. You can't get the pleasure of eating a fragrant fig in an environment where the smell of sand mixed with the warm wind coming from the sea. Qatar offered me the depths of perfume. The perfume heritage accumulated by Arab culture is extraordinary. All the geographies I have traveled and lived in for years due to my education and professional life have nourished me with their scents and perfumes. Istanbul has taken its place in my life as a world city where you can enjoy a good perfume with its cultural richness and lifestyle that I define as a harmonious chaos. Cappadocia gifted me the desire to draw a unique path in perfume, which is the greatest pleasure and occupation of my life. With its mesmerizing geography, rich history and peaceful atmosphere, Cappadocia was the most suitable place to set out for a world brand. The richness of Cappadocia guided us and opened its hidden treasures to us. The idea and design of all our perfumes were realized in the silent whispering environment of that magnificent geography.

CAPPO'S PHILOSOPHY
The geography and atmosphere of Cappadocia has influenced my whole life. Every day I feel how right it is that my wife and I decided to shape our future in this geography at a young age. We have made serious investments in different areas in the region. In all of them, we have tried to create works that are compatible with this magnificent geography and will be left to future generations. Our hotel Elika Cave Suites & SPA, which has received numerous awards worldwide, and our museum of artworks created by my husband Yavuz Demir's 20 years of labor are just one of them. In Kadadokya, home to the world's most important vineyards, it was inevitable that we would also have investments in wine. Perfume is an extremely important project for us at Harga Holding. Operating in a field that suits the cultural richness of the region made our entire team happy. As with all our other investments, I would like you to know that we will adhere to our basic principles and philosophy of respecting cultural and local values, valuing the environment and geography, and providing the highest level of service and product in perfume.
