The story behind the bottle.
D.S. by DS&Durga, launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumers David Seth Moltz, Kavi Moltz, and Rayda Vega, is a composition that oscillates between warmth and elegance. The fragrance opens with the vibrant brightness of saffron and frangipani, which immediately creates a sense of exotic charm. As it develops, notes of oud anD Sandalwood weave through the heart, adding depth and a touch of smokiness. This interplay between floral freshness and woody warmth is what defines D.S., making it both intimate and expansive.
Apply D.S. lightly at first — the saffron and frangipani can be quite bright initially but settle into a more complex profile over time. It's best worn close to skin for an intimate experience, rather than projecting across a room.
