DS & Durga hand craft perfume and cologne in small batches using premium-sourced ingredients.
They take inspiration from antiquated herbal wisdom, native ritual medicine, Americana, outdated lore, geography, history, and gastronomy. While referencing the classics, DS&D strive to make scents appropriate for modern ladies and gentlemen of discerning tastes.
The company harkens back to the pre-industrial cottage industries of North America. DS&D literally craft, bottle, box, and label everything with their four hands. The processes are time consuming and low in yield - both factors place high quality above quantity - a rarity today in the world of fine fragrance.
