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.
Electric crackle, downpour, panic grass, sizzling asphalt steam. Respite on muggy summer days.

The scent after it rains is a favorite aromatic genre and many people as it turns out. Perfumers have a few tools to use in the category of ozone—or things that smell like water and air. Geosmin is the scent molecule released from bacteria in dirt after it rains. What’s lovely, is that the Geosmin blends with different aromatics in different environments. Whereas in the forest it smells dank yet fresh, in the city you get the scent of hot asphalt and concrete quickly cooled by rain.
Concrete After Lightning is simple–you have the air, rain, steam, and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City.
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.
