Introducing Bowmakers, a rich and warming woody scent that pays homepage to the nostalgic scent of opening a finely crafted violin case.

Evolving from their Brooklyn roots (it all started in D.S.’s Bushwick apartment…), today D.S. & Durga’s luxury line is lauded by tastemakers — or should we say, scentmakers — and fragrance-ophiles around the world. Bottling a universe within each perfume and candle, each scent has a story, the brand's Bowmakers perfume is a love story to the luxuriance of fine instruments carved from rich mahogany to burled maple. With top, opening notes of mahogany and violin varnish that lead to a heart of maplewood and cypress before finishing with notes of spiced tree resin, cedar and moss that linger on skin long after it's spritzed, this Bowmakers scent will garner a host of compliments and enquiries as to "what perfume are you wearing?"...

Start by spraying it on your pulse points: behind the ears, wrists, ankles. It will rise in spirals around your body. Then spray a scent halo around your neck, head and hair.

Conceptualised and created by husband-and-wife founders David Seth and Kavi Moltz (also known by their pseudonyms of D.S. and Durga, respectively), this eclectic fragrance line is synonymous with quality notes and contradictory combinations that conjure aromatic visions. The brand's Bowmakers perfume recalls the opening of a violin case. Uniting notes reminiscent of luxurious mahogany and burled maple, this is a standout woody scent.
