D.S. is the culmination of a year of work spent developing a fragrance using the Indian materials that perfumer David Seth Moltz fancies most. Following the DURGA fragrance, he has made another fragrance with an overdose of fine oils.
D.S. & Durga's gold label line is a place for highlighting the rarest ingredients that can only be used in small batches.
Scent Story:
"Something alchemical happens when all the plants—gathered from hills and jungles—are all set to cook together. Attars smell like perfumes from a different age. Formulations are passed down for generations and many are unique to certain regions.
For “D.S.” I wanted to create the impression of an attar by cooking together accords of yellow lotus, gardenia (which I made from a plant I own), rose, jasmine, saffron, and vetiver all grounded in pure real deal Holyfield Sandalwood oil from Sri Lanka (one of the finest in the world as Mysore has been overharvested).
D.S. has the choicest materials and can only be produced in small batches."

D.S. & Durga make perfume and cologne in small batches using premium-sourced raw materials. All scents are created exclusively in-house. Some of their inspiration comes from outdated herbal wisdom, native ritual medicine, lore and legends, historical movements and Americana. The scents are the stories of prospectors, gentry, trailblazers, frontier women, drawing rooms, workbenches, cowboys – fragments of half-remembered legends, movements, events, and foreign lands.
