The story behind the bottle.
Leatherize by DS&Durga, launched in 2022 and crafted by perfumer David Seth Moltz, is a woody aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of contemporary elegance with an earthy twist. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes that create a dynamic contrast against the rich leather heart, while iris and powdery undertones add depth and warmth. This fragrance embodies the brand's commitment to blending global essences into sophisticated perfumes, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate nuanced complexity.
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, Leatherize is best applied lightly — a single spray on each wrist or behind the ears will suffice. The fragrance develops fully over time, so it's ideal for layering under a jacket or wearing throughout the day as it evolves.
