The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Wear at Maximum Volume by DS&Durga is a bold and complex composition that embodies the brand's signature blend of global essences. Launched in 2024 and crafted by David Seth Moltz, this fragrance opens with bright mandarin and pepper, creating an immediate sense of freshness and energy. The heart notes feature English rose and Egyptian jasmine, adding layers of floral depth that are both warm and inviting. As it settles into its base, the patchouli and moss create a rich earthy backdrop, while amber adds warmth and sensuality.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance generously to capture its full range. The top notes are lively but fade quickly, so a few sprays will ensure that the rich base of patchouli and amber continues to develop throughout the day. It pairs well with cooler evenings or indoor settings where warmth is desired.
