D.S. & Durga Perfumes

The fragrance brand "D.S. & Durga" stands out not only for its unique name but also for its fascinating backstory. Founded by musician and educator David Seth, who has always been inspired by romance, literature, and music, the brand took root during a date with architect Kavi Ahuja where she was likened to the Hindu goddess Durga. Together, they established "D.S. & Durga" with a vision of excellence that they have successfully maintained. The brand sets itself apart by prioritizing quality in ingredients and production, taking cues from ancient texts on botanicals to create their fragrances. This meticulous process results in fragrances that are rich and complex, with scents often featuring coriander, citrus, jasmine, leather, or wood. These aromas are crafted to evoke the spirit of early American legends, connecting the past with the present in a unique olfactory experience. Despite the high cost of materials and the time-intensive production methods, the fragrances from "D.S. & Durga" offer a distinct value proposition due to the direct involvement of the founders and the absence of intermediaries. Their products are available for purchase online as well as in their Brooklyn store, offering customers a glimpse into the creative world of this innovative fragrance brand.
