Tucked into the fynbos near Cape Point, Très Nagual is an artisanal perfumery where scent creation is a deliberate and sacred lifestyle. Founders Florian Baumann and David Plenderleith craft small-batch fragrances in a studio that doubles as a meditative workspace and weekend shop. Drawing on wild botanicals, family-sourced oils, and rare resins, their scents are deeply personal, seasonal, and never exactly repeated. Each fragrance carries a distinct identity, gender, and story, often inspired by mythology, dreams, or spiritual symbolism. This deeply personal, small-batch process results in earthy, wild scents with subtle variations that make each bottle unique. By resisting mass production and embracing deliberate craftsmanship, Très Nagual has cultivated a loyal following that values authenticity over uniformity, demonstrating that thoughtful craftsmanship remains resonant in a fast-paced world.
