D.S. & DURGA
D.S. & DURGA pioneered the 'do-it-yourself' movement in Brooklyn at the turn of the century. The duo believes in the ability of perfumes to make invisible worlds visible. The power of scent is equal to that of sight and hearing. D.S. & DURGA creates a new universe through scents: everything loved in music, art and nature is translated into fragrance notes. They are fragments of myths and fantasies, inviting the outside world to discover them. D.S. & DURGA's creativity comes from within, which is how home perfumer D.S. taught himself to create perfumes by immersing himself in all things scented. This enabled him to translate objects, places and characters into scent stories. Kavi, or Durga, is the designer of the perfume bottles and more. She approaches her work like an architect; thinking in angles, light, shadow and texture in order to realise the story of the fragrance A good fragrance is a world that can be experienced again and again.
