D.S. & Durga

D.S. & Durga is a Brooklyn-born perfume house built around vivid, story-led scent "scenes"—from imagined road trips and record-store afternoons to specific places and materials. Founded in 2008 by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Ahuja Moltz, the brand pairs a perfumer’s lab mindset with strong visual design, releasing fragrances (and related products like candles) that feel curated like an art project rather than a seasonal trend. Its reputation comes from distinctive compositions that lean modern and conceptual while still being wearable, with each launch typically framed by narrative details that invite collectors to explore a small world in a bottle.
