Each bottle tells an olfactory story infused with mystery, authenticity, and Ottoman elegance. By preserving its artisanal values, Atelier Rebul continues to carry this legacy to the world.
The Roots of a Fragrance Legend
The story of Rebul began in 1895 on Rue de Pera. Inspired by the captivating spirit of Istanbul, young French pharmacist Jean Cesar Reboul founded his pharmacy, Grande Pharmacie Parisienne, in Beyoğlu. Years later, his encounter with Kemal Müderrisoğlu, a young apprentice, led to the birth of the iconic Rebul Pharmacy.
Atelier Rebul was born from such extraordinary encounters — where people and cities met by chance to create something remarkable.
In 1938, the legendary Rebul Lavanda Cologne was created. Enchanted by Istanbul, Jean Cesar Reboul decided to make it his home, giving rise to a legacy that continues to inspire the brand today. Crafted with scientific precision, Atelier Rebul perfumes draw inspiration from the French pharmacy tradition and the spirit of Istanbul — a dialogue between chemistry and art, East and West, past and present.
A Collection Dedicated to the Art of Fragrance
To celebrate its 130th anniversary, Atelier Rebul introduces the J.C.R. Signature Collection — a timeless creation that unites the wisdom of the past with the courage of the future.

Atelier Rebul Manifesto
From Roots to Future: The Evolution of Mastery
We believe in meetings that carry meaning. In journeys that direct us.
In discoveries that feel like signs. In relationships that transform.
Atelier Rebul was born of such wonderful encounters,
when people and places brought together not by plan, but by chance,
create something new, something extraordinary.
This is what we call Alchemy.
For us, it all began with a détour in a city at the crossroads of continents, cultures, and civilizations.
Where a French pharmacist found a new home. Where a young student from İstanbul found his new mentor.
From these seemingly ordinary moments emerged not only passion,
but a shared destiny and an enduring legacy:
Perfumes crafted with scientific precision,
inspired by French apothecary tradition and the soul of İstanbul.
Each one a dialogue between chemistry and poetry, East and West, past and present.
Fragrances of fate and fortune.
Born of luck. Made to last.
The Art of Fragrance. Crafted by Time.
Celebrating 130 years of perfume craftsmanship from Istanbul to the world.
