Gabar World
04 (Nolita) Rise Eau De Parfum
A quietly expansive fragrance capturing the intimate rhythm of a city morning.
The first fragrance of our newly launched Gabar Urban Collection, 04 (NOLITA) Rise reflects on the hidden rituals of the city morning. Inspired by the energy of the concrete jungle and paying homage to the brand’s first home of New York, 04 Rise is a soothing, skin-like expansive concoction, opening with gentle notes of Juniper Pink Pepper, leading into an aching heart of Lavender, Cypress Lily of the Valley, and rounding off with a soft pool of Amber woods Cashmere Wood.
We imagine that moment of waking up, crisp air in the face, with all of the noises of the city starting to hum whir around us.
Spray for self-expansion.
50 ml
A skin-close, expansive scent inspired by New York mornings juniper and pink pepper drift into lavender, cypress, and soft amber woods. Quietly awakening.
Lola stormed through the city with paint-stained fingers and a head full of ideas that refused to sit still. She didn’t just make art, she threw herself into it, sculpting with materials most people would never touch: chewed gum, latex, scraps of the world others overlooked. Every piece was a question, a challenge, a little rebellion against a world that demanded conformity. Made you smile....
She wore a soft silk scarf around her neck that carried her signature scent, the crisp brightness of juniper and green mandarin, with a flicker of pink pepper. It mingled with the subtle warmth of amber and cashmere woods, so that even as she moved through the city streets, the air seemed to bend to her presence. Her studio was an olfactory extension of her imagination: lavender and mint drifted from pots on the windowsill, while collected cypress branches and dried lilies of the valley, becoming part of her offerings. The wooden pedestals, crates, and pots she used were found treasures, planks from building sites, discarded beams, and splintered floors, transformed under her hands into vessels for her art.
One sticky hot afternoon, Lola welcomed her two closest clients, Penelope and Maja, into the gallery. They had been following her work for years, collecting her tiny gum sculptures that seemed to vibrate with life. Penelope admired the delicate flowers clinging to pedestals, inhaling the sharp spice of pink pepper and the sweet herbal whispers of mint. Maja, ever precise, lingered by a set of star-shaped pieces, running her fingers over the sticky surfaces while the rough cedar and cashmere woods she had scavenged from building sites mingled seamlessly with her perfume, as inseparable and layered as her artwork.
People called Lola radical, eccentric, impossible, but she thrived on it. She didn’t fit the molds anyone made, and she never wanted to. Her legacy not polite praise; it was in the fire she left behind, in the courage she sparked in anyone willing to look, really look.

Gabar is built on the very belief that much of the change we want to see in the world can come from ourselves first. From living more consciously, to being more present and attune with our feelings, to fully expressing exploring the various, dynamic selves in us, Gabar's mission is to encourage ideas of self-expansion, self-awareness self-discovery through scent and everyday rituals.
At Gabar, we clash old world values with fresh, contemporary aesthetics to build a scent brand for the future. One that cares just as much about internal over external beauty, and that is fully committed to slowly undoing unconscious values that no longer serve us. Gabar (meaning "world" in the Myanmar language, our mother tongue) is both a brand and movement.
A London brand, rooted in Southeast Asia but made for the world.
While our roots are in Myanmar (Southeast Asia) and we call London our current home, our mindset and inspiration will always remain global. We love the idea of bringing together our Buddhist heritage and deep diverse cultural experiences to create a brand unlike any other -- one with a globalist spirit that can resonate with those in different corners of the world.
Our philosophy will always remain: to do least harm. From box to bottle, every Gabar product is 98% recyclable, using cork, wood, glass, or paper in place of plastic and other non-recyclables. The result is a natural one -- and may result in a beautifully bent or out of shape package. We appreciate your partnership, as our practice for a sustainable future is ever-evolving and constantly in motion. And of course, we are vegan-friendly and never test on animals.
