D.S. & DURGA are leading a fragrance revolution

In today’s episode, Kate is in New York visiting the Brooklyn HQ of Kavi and David Moltz, the creative brains (and noses) behind non-traditional fragrance house, D.S. & Durga. David, a musician and self-taught perfumer, alongside Kavi, an architect and designer, work together approaching scent like music or art – breaking the boundaries of the very exclusive, illusive and traditional fragrance industry while they’re at it. Over a cup of fresh-brewed tea (David’s other great passion), they spill the story of how their unexpected fragrances are imagined, why they were onto the viral ‘pistachio’ scent three years before anyone else and how, when it comes to your brand, saying no can be more important than saying yes.   Read more on MECCA MEMO:Pistachio is the ‘it’ fragrance note of 2023: here’s whyProducts mentioned in this episode:D.S.& Durga Pistachio EDP D.S.& Durga I Don’t Know What EDPD.S.& Durga Cowboy Grass EDPD.S. & Durga Rose Atlantic EDP D.S. & Durga Debaser EDP D.S & Durga Rockaway Beach EDP D.S. & Durga Durga EDP  D.S. & Durga St. VetyverD.S.& Durga Candles D.S. & Durga 85 Diesel CandleD.S. & Durga Radio Bombay EDP Host: Kate BlytheGuests: Kavi and David MoltzProducer: Kerri GordonEditors: Romy Erdos and Michael LiberaleLoved the latest episode of MECCA Talks?
