D.S. & DURGA
Brand · Home fragrance
We believe the power of scent is equal to that of sight and sound.
A great perfume is a keyhole into another realm; an invisible landscape that you can enter and explore any time.
Each of our fumes is a rich narrative.
All that we love in music, art, nature, and design told aromatically. Our scents are fragments of half-remembered myths and imaginary landscapes that invite exploration. Liner notes, playlists, images, graphics, and films expand upon the world inside the glass.
Kavi and David
David (a.k.a D.S.) is a self-taught perfumer who created his own aromatic language—a rarity in the perfume industry. Kavi (a.k.a Durga) is a trained architect who builds buildings for our scents and cities for our universe.
We create
authentic studies
of real world objects, plants, and places. We weave them into narratives that transport you to far off places, material and imaginary.
Made in New York
NYC is in our DNA. It shapes our lives and our vision of the world. Everything is made here in the belly of the beast.
We started from scratch and did it our way.
(More Sid than Sinatra). We were pioneers in DIY Brooklyn. We turned all that we loved in music, nature, myth and design into fancy fragrances in our tiny Bushwick apartment. All scents are made in house & they always will be.
