The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by DS&Durga, Radio Bombay is a woody and powdery fragrance crafted by David Seth Moltz. This composition opens with the warmth of coconut and peach, creating an inviting sweetness that contrasts with the earthy richness of cedar and sandalwood. The heart introduces boronia and iris, adding floral depth before settling into a musky base layered with ambergris and ambrette. It's a fragrance that captures the essence of a sophisticated yet cozy atmosphere.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays — the coconut and peach notes are bright but brief. The musky base takes time to bloom, so this fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room. Ideal for an evening where warmth and comfort blend seamlessly.
