NOKTA
Three scents for one city
02 — Manifesto
A dot on the map of scent.
Nokta means a dot. We make three perfumes and nothing else, each one a single point in Sarajevo: a street, a river, a mountain. No seasonal drops, no flankers, no “for him”. One bottle shape, one glass, three liquids that change colour with the light.
Composed and bottled in the atelier at Ćurčiluk veliki. Every blend rests eleven weeks before anyone is allowed to smell it.
03 — Scent No. 01
Baščaršija
smoke & cedar
The first scent we made and the one people stop us about in the street. It opens sharp — pepper, bergamot — and settles into the smell of a workshop: cedar dust and the last of the coffee.

- snow accord · juniper
- heart
- silver pine · clary sage
- base

The mountain above the city: pine resin under a first snow, the cable car humming, breath visible.

Slowly, then all at once.
- 01
Walk
Every scent starts as a route. We walk it at 07:00 and at 22:00 and write down what the air does.
- 02
Tincture
Cedar shavings, fig leaves, pine resin — macerated in grain alcohol for four to six weeks, shaken every morning.
- 03
Distil
A 20-litre copper still on low heat. Only the heart of the run is kept; heads and tails go back into the next batch.
- 04
Rest
The blend sleeps for eleven weeks in the cellar at 14 °C. We smell the air above the jar every Monday.
- 05
Fill
Hand-filled, hand-numbered, corked, waxed. Two hundred bottles a batch, no more.
07 — Voices
“It smells like the ten minutes before the market opens. I did not know a bottle could hold that.”
Lejla H. — ceramicist, Baščaršija
“Miljacka on wet days. Trebević on the days I need to get out of my own head.”
Damir K. — architect, Sarajevo
“The peach one is the only perfume anyone has ever asked me about on a tram.”
Sara V. — editor, Zagreb
08 — Ritual
How to wear it
Pulse, not cloth
Two presses — one wrist, one behind the ear. Skin warms the base notes; fabric only keeps the top.
Do not rub
Rubbing breaks the top notes in seconds. Let it dry on its own, about forty seconds.
Layer, if you must
The unscented balm under the perfume doubles its life. Reapply once, never three times.
