House Of Gozdawa | An artisanal epicene perfumery founded in Cape Town | Gozdava 1590 – the home of curious exploration.

With the radical pleasure of scent at the helm guiding you on adventures through places unknown and often overlooked. Every scent is a bottle sized cabinet of curiosities. Filled with olfactory enchantments, a rich narrative of real life, imagination, pleasure and meticulously crafted from the real nature around us. We create authentic response to studies of the nature and places which inspire us, so you can go and visit them for yourself, again. All perfumes are created in house, as they’ve always been.

Step inside the world of GOZDAVA 1590 for an intimate conversation with founder and nose, Agata Karolina, as part of this years Design Week in Cape Town.

Exploring moss and its enduring role in perfumery, an extension of the Pinterest Predicts 2026 moss-themed scent-stacking workshop held during Design Week Joburg, this session will trace moss’s character, history and olfactory qualities through fragrance, exploring how this ancient botanical material has been interpreted by perfumers across time.

Guests are invited to smell and experience moss in its raw form before the GOZDAVA 1590 team reveals how moss absolute is extracted for use in perfume — providing a rare glimpse into the materials and techniques hidden behind the curtain of the Maison.

Hosted within the GOZDAVA 1590 Boutique, this activation offers an opportunity to gather closely with the Nose, ask questions, follow curiosities and experience firsthand the material at the heart of this trend and conversation.

Seats are limited! Ticket link in bio.

A lemon, a lake, and the peculiar madness of wanting something you cannot quite prove exists. Somewhere along Lake Garda, Goethe’s ghost lingers among the limonaie, those skeletal wooden gardens built to shelter citrus from the cold. We went looking for a myth. We returned with three tiny jewels, a story in broken Italian, and the suspicion that obsession, occasionally, has excellent taste.

Fools Paradise - available in our full range of interior scents and amenities.

The Maison stepped away this past weekend as our team travelled to Johannesburg to present for this year’s edition of Design Week, in partnership with Pinterest.

We look forward to your next olfactory adventure!

The workshop is fully booked and we’re so looking forward to welcoming you!

Good interiors make you look.
Great ones make you want to linger.

The Big Bloom brings fragrance into the architecture: softening the edges, setting the mood, inviting you to stay a little longer.

Dirty Green, our shamelessly provocative, deliberately indulgent Mediterranean-inspired fragrance is available online, now shipping across South Africa, Europe and the United Kingdom.

Consider yourself invited to misbehave.

Go on. Get dirty.

Last night in Paris, White Label Project opened its Paris Fashion Week showroom with a Vernissage, bringing together six international female designers from across the globe.

From South Africa, Kenya, India, Chile, Mexico and Germany, the showroom reflects each designers distinct perspective on origin, craft and sustainable artistry - a fitting place for a perfume house built around travel, curiosity and the art of looking closer.

Thank you to everyone who joined us.

The showroom is welcoming visitors for the next three days and we look forward to seeing you there!
