About the Founder
Tapputi Egyptian Perfume Oils was founded by Alishia an Deventer, a seasoned entrepreneur and businesswoman with over a decade of experience in South Africa’s entertainment and corporate industries. Over the years, she has collaborated with some of the country’s most celebrated figures — including Margaret Gardiner, Hykie Berg, Donnalee Roberts, Anneline Kriel, and Rolene Strauss — earning recognition for her creative vision, professionalism, and leadership.
Her journey into fragrance began eight years ago, when her daughter moved to Egypt. Captivated by the purity and richness of Egyptian perfume oils, she spent four years researching ancient traditions, sourcing premium ingredients, and building trusted partnerships with artisans.
She started developing the Tapputi Brand in 2018 and launched it in South Africa in October 2022, followed by the international launch of Tapputi International Ltd in 2025. "We didn't start Tapputi just to sell perfume. We are continuing the work of Tapputi Belatekallim, the world’s first recorded perfumer who started making perfume 1200 BC", says Alishia.
Tapputi is a fusion of history, art and culture, rooted in authenticity, heritage, and timeless luxury. It's more than a fragrance — it’s an exhilarating love obsession.
Today, under Alishia's visionary leadership, Tapputi International Ltd. oversees the global brand, with Tapputi (Pty) Ltd proudly managing distribution of Tapputi Egyptian Perfume Oils within South Africa.
