DS & Durga - Wild Brooklyn Lavender Candle

DS & Durga Wild Brooklyn Lavender Candle: Brooklyn flowering in the early aughts where wild packs of dogs roamed free among savage weeds and anything seemed possible. Top Notes: spike lavender, wayside herbs. Heart Notes: vetiver grass, lavender flowers. Base Notes: suede, asphalt.

"I moved to Brooklyn in 2002 when I was 22. Almost everyone I knew was doing something interesting. Once I left a poker game at 3 am in Bushwick. As I stepped onto the street. I was shocked to encounter a wild pack of dogs–the alpha leader, the Lil’ scruff, the dame, etc. New York was wild; it seemed like anything was possible. You could study the weeds that grew out of the cracks in Brooklyn, and even start a perfume company out of nowhere." - D.S.

DS & Durga believes 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. Candles are made from soy-vegetable wax and use a cotton wick. Glasses candle vessels are meant to be reused and repurposed.
