Radio Bombay is a transistor radio carved from sandalwood that broadcasts Ragas (Indian music) in the heat of Bandra. The hot, metallic copper pipes warm the soft wood and release musk and coconut distillates. The music thunders over the market into the cacophony of voices, where nutty peppery heat pairs with the delicate cream peach notes from the neighboring stall. A creamy sandalwood scent emerges, rounded off with a colorful mix of spices.


Top notes: Radiant wood, copper, cedar Heart notes: Sandalwood, radiant iris, coral diamonds Base notes: Balsam fir absolute, coconut musk, amber

Hinter dem Duft

“I am interested in hypothetical scent. Not everything has a strong or readily perceivable aroma, but objects can suggest a fragrance. Light bulbs glow. Electricity courses through their metal filaments. They melt the dust on their surface emitting wisps of heat. The tubes in amplifiers have a certain aroma. When my ‘69 Fender Deluxe gets heated-up (after rip-roaring monster shredding), the back of the amp produces a hot dusty metallic grease perfume – the scent of backstage in a humid venue. So what if there was a tube amplifier in an old radio made of sandalwood? Then the interaction of the heat would open up the pores of the wood, singing its smooth elegant fragrance – puffs of musky cedar, peach, coconut, lactones, milk. Real sandalwood essence is perfection. I often wear it neat. It smells of India, effigies, purity, focus. Unfortunately, it has been overharvested, so perfumers don’t use the oil from Mysore anymore. Radio Bombay is a deconstruction of the Mysore santal rebuilt from all the aspects written above. I imagine the radio sitting in a small hot shop in Bandra – the “Brooklyn” of Bombay (sorry). The heat deconstructs the oils in the wood. Ragas and Geeta Dutt tunes jangle out of its tiny speaker in the busy city.“ – David Seth Moltz

D.S. & Durga

D.S. & Durga is a Brooklyn-based brand whose fragrances tell stories that transport you to distant places. Each fragrance is a fragment of half-remembered myths of pioneers, boundary crossers, and cowboys, imaginary landscapes, salons, and workbenches that invite exploration. According to the founders, the art of a perfume lies not only in 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 of transforming musical and literary spaces into fragrances. This also means that each individual fragrance is conceived and constructed in-house by D.S. & Durga, that is, without intermediaries or interpretation by external perfumers. Kavi (aka Durga) designs everything around the fragrances. By thinking in 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 elaborately told in aromatic form. All fragrances are invisible soundtracks that can be worn on the body throughout the day. The more you know the stories and events, the deeper you dive into the world of the bottle. The story, unexpected and novel combinations are the core of the aromatic vision.
