85 Diesel – Candle

D.S. & Durga is a Brooklyn-based brand whose fragrances tell stories that transport you to faraway places. Each fragrance is a fragment of half-remembered myths of pioneers, frontierswomen and cowboys, imaginary landscapes, saloons and workbenches that invite discovery. According to the founders, the art of a perfume lies not only in the quality but also in the handling of the individual components. D.S. stands for David Seth Moltz, who taught himself how to make perfume. He lives his passion for transforming musical and literary spaces into fragrances. This also means that every single fragrance is conceived and constructed in-house by D.S. & Durga themselves, i.e. without intermediaries or interpretation by external perfumers. Kavi (aka Durga) designs everything around the fragrances. By thinking in terms of angles, light, shadow and texture, she creates clarity in form and function. Through this constellation, everything the couple loves about music, art, nature and design is told in detail aromatically. All the fragrances are invisible soundtracks that you can wear on your body throughout the day. The more you know about the stories and events, the deeper you dive into the world inside the bottle. The story, unexpected and novel combinations are the core of the aromatic vision.
