D.S. & Durga | The smell of cassette tapes

Perfume is music.  "Music and fragrance. They're the same thing. They're both invisible art forms." Debaser in Bloom is inspired by the music of our youth in the 90s— cassette tapes

The wild shrill of Indie rock coming through the college radio station in hot heat. A mixtape of our classic fig fume, cut with gardenia, cream, cassette tapes, and white currant.

When D.S. & Durga's master David creates our fragrances, he sees them in color. The throw of a particular aroma can be described in the colors it implies in the mind of one with synethesia. Vetyer can smell straw like yellow, patchouli, deep red, and so on. David is very enthusiastic about translating an idea from one discipline to another—so music, words, and ultimately color become aromas to wear on skin and in sanctuary.
