When Chooksing a Fragrance, It Feels too for a full-blown summer floral, but too a cocooning Cold-Weather SCENT. DS & Durga Brown Flowers is a unique, between-season perfume. IT SMELLS WARM, COMPORTING, AND NOSTALGIC, But Also Weird and Nuanced, Surpring and New.

AFTER VISITING THE PHILIP JOHNSON GLASS HOUSE IN CONNECTICUT AND IMAGNING THE PARTIES THAT MUST HAVE HAPPENED THERE IN The 1970s, DS & Durga Co-Founder David Moltz Came Up With The Idea of ​​A FICTIONAL NAMED SIMONE. She’s an eccentric aunt who lives in a modernist guesthouse and makes Her Own Out of Dried Flowers and Herbs. “She’s someone who were drafting classes and experiments with Potpourri,” Moltz Says. “She hangs out at these parties where People Wear Brown Suits and Drink Martinis, and She’s Like, ‘Try My Perfume!

Someone Wearing Jasmine Perfume and Drinking Coffee. When you First Spray, You’ll Smell Dried Citrus Peels, Haylik Queen Anne’s Lace, and A Touch of Chocolate. THEN IT BECOMES MORE FLORAL, WITH NOTES OF ORCHID, COFFEE Flower, and Jasmine, before seting down into a lingering scient of espresso and earthy mus. “I wanted it to be like a lat-’70s heady floral that my mom would have worn,” Moltz Says. “But Done in a Modern Way That’s Not Cloying.” IT SMELLS COMPLEX AND MYSTERIOUS, But Neether Heavy Nor Sweet.

Anyone Looking for a Nontradional SCent that is weird Enough to SEEM edgy but Still Easy to Wear. This is the Kind of IYKYK SPENT that you’ll be smelling in margot and salon 94. “I think it for any who likes flower perfumes, but with an interesting twist,” moltz Says. “Think of it as a floral with a cool side.” For Those Who Want to Immerselves in Its 1970s Retro-Modernism Vibe Fully, Moltz Eve Recorded A Soundtrack for the Scent you can find on Spotify: Eight Low-Key Sunday-Morning Titles Like “Modernist Pool” and “Simone Plays Synhesizer in the Glasss.”

“Gen x and it reminds with of soap that my parsis would has used,” Said One Museumgoer. “But more elevated.”

“I don’t normally wear faragrances Because they’re Too overpowering for me, but is one i would. It has a subtle tea aroma.”

“If this are a cocktail, i’d like it.”

“It ‘s little musty but also kind of free. It reminds with of Old Tom Ford or Gucci. Something you’d smell when walking by a fragrance counter back in the day.”

“It Smells like something Grandmother Wold Wear. Not with.”

“Pretty. Of Can Smell Amber and Jasmine. Its Kind of Like A Vintage Spect, Like Old-School Chanel. I Get Coco Mademoiselle, But More Floral.”
