D.S. & Durga products

ABOUT
THE FOUNDERS

It's in Williamsburg, in the heart of hipster Brooklyn, that David and Kavi launched this crazy brand. From Native American recipes to the memory of the Manhattan barber shop fire, D.S. & Durga will surprise, move and intoxicate you.

The crystalline beauty of Rose Atlantic, the elegant softness of Coriander, the power of Amber Kiso will make you discover the art of perfume. Here, no marketing, no consumer tests or target clientele, but the strength of creative freedom, the breath of the new world from its buffalo plains to its skyscrapers. D.S. & Durga is establishing itself day after day as the brand that counts for lovers of "niche" perfumes.

Before discovering their stores in Manhattan or Brooklyn, come and smell their insolence and beauty while sitting at our perfume bar in Paris.

D.S & DURGA is an american perfume brand founded in 2009 by a musician David Seth Moltz (D.S.) and an architect Kavi Ahuja Moltz (Durga).

David Seth Moltz (D.S.) - Founder & Perfumer of the brand

He taught himself how to make perfume by completely immersing in all things fragrant. He is dedicated to translating musical and literary spaces into scent. Each fragrance is conceived and constructed by D.S. exclusively.

Kavi Ahuja Moltz (Durga) - Creative Director of the brand

She approaches her work like the architect she was trained to be. Thinking in angles, light, shadow, and texture, Durga seeks clarity in form and function. She builds buildings for our scents, cities for our universe.
