Customizable Sample Set

4.3 • 4 Reviews

When it comes to fragrances, you could say I have a more basic nose that likes your typical light, fresh, floral scents that smell "pretty." D.S. & Durga is my first foray into more unique and complex fragrances and I'm loving it! It feels more sophisticated and evokes memories. I loved the ability to get a sample set and was surprised how much I liked "steamed rainbow." Plus, the websites have Spotify playlists for the scents - makes for a full own experience that uses more than your sense of smell! So I didn't love ALL the fragrances I got, but it's such a personal thing and will keep an eye for future releases. I enjoy D.S. and Durga's mission and appreciate them opening my mind. Start with the sampling sets to figure out what you like.

I had smelled a DS Durga scent before and had been thinking about it for a while, so I was glad to see them come up as a ThingDrop. As a NYC native, I love that this is also a NYC manufactured brand. I purchased the scent I had been eyeing, Black Magenta, and a customizable sample set of other scents I had my eye on. I also received a free travel size scent with my purchase. I didn't end up getting any of the scents that was recommended to me in the quiz as I'm still learning how to shop for scents online. Its hard for me to fully understand what scents will work for me when shopping online if I haven't yet smelled it before. The packaging and presentation is great, and the scent is very high quality. I had my eyes on the candles and may try that in the future! The products are more expensive but on par for other high end perfumes . Overall, I was very impressed and will keep this brand in mind for future purchases.

I purchased the customized sample set from D.S. & Durga which included sample sizes of 4 scents: Cognac Reign, I Don’t Know What, Bowmakers, and Sweet Do Nothing. I loved that the site offered a personalized test and recommended specific scents based on my results. All four scents are lovely and hearty, but in particular I LOVE the Cognac Reign and Bowmakers. Both scents are very robust and autumnal. Neither had the longest wear time for me, but that may just be that I’m working with sample sizes and being stingy with my sprays. Overall, I’m very impressed with the brand thus far

I love the fresh, clean smell that sidewalks have after it rains, so I was really excited to experience D.S. & Durga's Concrete After Lightning. It doesn't disappoint! I'm looking forward to giving the car air fresheners as stocking stuffers. I'm also so glad I got the sample set - the scents are unique and hard to pin down, so being able to try them for less than the price of a full candle or perfume bottle is appreciated.
