David and Kavi (a.k.a D.S. & Durga) were pioneers in DIY Brooklyn. They turned all that they loved in music, nature, myth and design into fancy fragrances in their tiny Bushwick apartment. Liner notes, playlists, images, graphics, and films expand upon the world inside the glass. Each of their fumes is a bold and rich narrative. They started from scratch and they still made all in-house.
Frühstück with JSB at Café Zimmerman, 1723. Strong coffee, buttery almond pastries, pipe tobacco.
Top Notes: javanese coffee, almond kutchen, pastry
Heart Notes: tobacco leaf, butter
Base Notes: leather upholstery, fireplace
The scent of the café in Leipzig where Bach wrote his famous Java Cantata in the 1700s. Tightly packed tables of people breakfasting over buttery almond pastries and strong coffee. Smoking pipes, reading newspapers, talking. Creamers of milk, kitchen steam, tobacco clouds, a hint of an old fireplace in the corner, and burgundy leather upholstery on the seats. This candle is D.S. & DURGA’s first overtly gourmand scent. It’s light hearted. You can change your house into this legendary café at such a specific moment in time simply by lighting it.
Handmade in small batches from carefully selected raw materials, each transcendent fragrance blend is mixed into vegan soy wax, poured into a glass jar and finished with a woven cotton wick.
