D.S. & Durga

D.S. & Durga is a fragrance house built on the evocative power of scent to tell stories. Founded in 2008 by husband-and-wife duo David Seth Moltz (D.S.) and Kavi Ahuja Moltz (Durga), the Brooklyn-based brand began as an exploration of David's musical background and Kavi's architectural sensibilities. What started as a small operation in their apartment, crafting aftershaves and perfumes inspired by forgotten lore, historical figures, and American landscapes, quickly gained a following for its unique and narrative-driven approach to fragrance. Their scents are like olfactory short stories, each one meticulously crafted to transport the wearer to a specific time, place, or imaginative realm, setting them apart in the world of perfumery.

D.S. & Durga proudly manufactures its entire line of fragrances in the United States, specifically in Brooklyn, New York. This commitment to domestic production allows them to maintain stringent quality control and ensures the integrity of their artistic vision. From the initial formulation and blending of raw materials to the bottling and packaging of each perfume, every step is carefully overseen in their Brooklyn workshop. By keeping their manufacturing local, D.S. & Durga supports American craftsmanship and embodies a hands-on approach to creating their distinctive and highly acclaimed scents.
