Why they're good

Perfume and a short skincare range, blended, bottled and packed in Cape Town. The ingredient lists are short and every item on them has a job.

The business

DLT/82

DLT/82 is a small perfume and skincare brand in Cape Town, with its address at 177 Main Road, Green Point. Everything is blended, bottled and packed in the city.

The brand's tone is stated plainly: serious formulas, unserious brand. It rests on three ideas. Made properly means short ingredient lists where each ingredient has a job and is used at a strength that does something. The second is a focus on the product over marketing spend. The third is local production by a team you can reach.

The perfume range is thirteen eau de toilette fragrances in 50 ml bottles, named dlt/01 to dlt/13. Each is marked male, female or unisex: eight male, four female and one unisex. The bottles are clear glass with a wooden ball cap and a round label. For help choosing, ask the team before you buy.

A skincare range is coming soon. The approach is simple on purpose: products named for what they do, and no multi-step routine to follow.

Buying is online. Payment is by card, instant EFT or SnapScan through Payfast, and no payment data is stored. Orders go by courier from Cape Town, with tracking, and arrive in three to four days anywhere in South Africa.

You can reach the brand by email at perfume@dlt82.co.za, on WhatsApp on +27 500 569 876, or on Instagram at @dlt82_cosmeticssa and Facebook at dlt82.

DLT/82 suits someone who wants a perfume to wear every day rather than save, and who would like to ask a person before choosing. Its products are made to be used up, not kept for special occasions.
