The Story

The wild shrill of Indie rock coming through the college radio station in hot August heat. Ripe fig, iris, coconut milk, tonka and dry blond woods.

Music is essential to life. I was born in a house of blues—dad’s from Chicago. At 9 I went to camp on an island. Cool older punk kids showed me the Misfits and the Pixies. (One of those kids was actually comedian Rob Delaney).

That summer was ruled by Doolittle. The provocative lyrics. The cackle of Frank Black. I absorbed it in the summer heat. August humidity. Young romance.

Our Debaser scent is hot, humid, sexy.

Green stems, deep purple fig, soft blond woods, a wet white ethereal musk, and the coumarin-vanillic note of tonka bean.

The House

D.S. & Durga is the Brooklyn house of David Seth Moltz and Kavi Ahuja Moltz, founded in 2008. David is a self-taught perfumer with a background as a musician; Kavi is a trained architect who designs the buildings the fragrances inhabit — bottles, packaging, an entire visual world. Everything is made in-house in New York, and the house publishes a playlist alongside every scent: music and perfume telling the same story by different means.
