notre histoire

our story

navé began the way most quiet things do — with a notebook, a single bottle, and an honest curiosity.

today the studio works in small, thoughtfully handcrafted batches. every release is intentionally finite.

navé (naah-vey) నావే is telugu for all mine. our thoughts, feelings, values, desires and memories are all uniquely ours.

the studio is built on the same conviction: that a scent should belong, unequivocally, to the person who wears it.

currently in shop

spring 2026

the debut two-fragrance collection explores themes of urban emotional revival: moments of return, grounding, and care within modern life. reviens is a modern fougère inspired by reconnecting with nature as a meditative practice. mère is a gourmand that celebrates the nostalgia of maternal intimacy.
