Gumamina is the precious side project and brainchild of independent perfumers Courtney Rafuse and Marissa Zappas.

This is a manifestation of their merged fantasy scapes and explores themes of tragedy and grace. The idea came to them out of a desire to create truly collaborative and joyful work, with no timelines or larger agendas, separate from their own brands. It is so fruitful for perfumers to collaborate on formulas—it pushes them in new directions.

Gumamina launched in December 2023, with two perfumes, Odette and Odile, inspired by Swan Lake.

Their next release is scheduled for 2026.
