The story behind the bottle.
My Indian Childhood by DS&Durga is a fragrance that David Seth Moltz crafted to evoke the warmth and complexity of childhood memories. The composition opens with green and floral notes, creating an immediate sense of freshness and vibrancy. As it develops, patchouli and warm spices weave together with tobacco and woody accords, evoking the richness and depth of a tropical landscape. This fragrance is not just a scent; it's a journey back to a specific time and place, where every note tells a story.
Given its enormous sillage and long-lasting nature, a single generous spray is sufficient. The fragrance blooms over time, so it's best applied before leaving for an event or outing to allow all layers to develop fully on your skin.
