Our Team

​Luminarian is a family-founded fragrance, created with intention, care, and a memory. Rooted in both personal story and craftsmanship, the brand brings together emotion and experience to create something meaningful.

​

Valerie Giraud-Raza, Founder & CEO, was born and raised in the South of France, where a deep appreciation for fragrance and craftsmanship is part of the culture. With a background in the beauty industry and as an entrepreneur, she brings extensive experience in product development, production, and brand building from concept to market, along with established relationships with retail partners and professionals across marketing and sales.

​

Luca Raza, Co-Founder & President, stands at the voice of Luminarian. As Valerie's daughter, her instinct, sensitivity, and deep connection to the story help guide the creative direction of the brand. She was 18 when this journey began, and much of Luminarian took shape during a deeply emotional period that followed. Her perspective continues to shape each decision, working closely with Valerie to bring the vision of the brand to life through a balance of intuition and experience.

 

Sabina and Ayani met Leyla and Luca in high school, where their friendship naturally grew into a close bond. They bring creativity, warmth, and a deep sense of care to Luminaryan, contributing ideas and perspectives that help shape the brand in a meaningful way. Having them as part of this journey brings a sense of familiarity and support that is deeply valued.

​

Together, Luminarian is built as a reflection of both experience and emotion.
