Taking its name from Pixies' 1989 track, D.S. & Durga's Debaser perfume is an ode to the crackle of car radios, band frontrunner Black Francis' wild shrill and the lurching change of rhythm; done so via contradictory accords, this humid and provocative scent plays with notes of deep purple fig, soft blond woods, wet white ethereal musk and the coumarin-vanillic note of tonka bean.
With simple monochrome bottles that let the scents do the talking, D.S. & Durga’s gender-neutral perfumes make a fine addition to any vanity. Carefully crafted from vegan ingredients that are cherry-picked for aromatic payoff and quality, each scent is shaped in New York City but their stories span the world over.
