A LIVING CABINET OF CURIOSITIES
Our Flagship boutique in Cape Town is more than a place to discover perfume; it is a space born to take you places, to be immersed in the philosophy of Gozdava 1590 and the mind of Nose Agata Karolina. A living cabinet of curiosities filled with artefacts collected first hand from adventures over a lifetime, gather together and invite you to explore memories and inspiration that have become the founding pillars of our approach for over a decade.
Items fill shelves and cabinets following curiosity rather than category – browse our favourite zines and vinyls – talismans and trinkets collected along our adventures put together with an instinct for the unexpected, the beautiful and the obscure.
Among our collections of artworks, literature, botanics live our perfumes, surrounded by story, each inviting you to travel to distant locations in space and memory and experience a scentsory itinerary like no other.
Gozdava 1590 is about more than just perfume, we create perfumes that take you places, and our founding home is an experience of a decade of world wide travel.
Explore curiosity. Explore GOZDAVA 1590.
Each fragrance begins with an encounter — a place, a memory, a landscape, a moment — and becomes an invitation to journey further. The boutique is an extension of this idea: a space for discovery, conversation, fragrance and play.
Our creations sit alongside ancient stones from the Kalahari, travel keepsakes, books, artworks from our favourite South African artists and photographers, collections of limited edition accessories brought back from our travels — even the Nose’s My First Sony radio, which now forms part of several museum collections around the world, finds its place alongside other precious oddities collected on our journeys.
The boutique acts as a portal into the world as we see it: with curiosity, appetite and an instinct to look a little closer.
