More about DS & Durga Candles
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.
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.
Each of their "fumes" is a rich narratrive. All that they love in music, art, nature, and design told aromatically. DS & Durga 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.
They 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 NYC. NYC is in their DNA. It shapes their lives and vision of the world. Everything is made in the belly of the beast.
DS & Durga started from scratch and did it their way. (More Sid than Sinatra). Pioneers in DIY Brooklyn, and turned all that they loved in music, nature, myth and design into fancy fragrances in their tiny Bushwick apartment. All scents are made in house & they always will be.
