Breakfast Leipzig Candle

4.0 • 2 Reviews

D.S. & Durga has been a staple in my fragrance world for years. There's something they do that feels very special. Their scents feel like unique stories, capturing specific places, specific moods. Atmospheric in a way that's still completely wearable. My partner and I have collected a lot of their perfumes together over the years and share everything. Most lean beautifully gender-neutral, which is part of the appeal. We keep coming back to Bowmakers, I Don't Know What, and The Carlyle. Amber Teutonic is also a favorite of ours that was discontinued, so we treasure every drop in our remaining bottle. Beyond the fragrances, the body lotion in the scent I Don't Know What is so luxurious and layers so well with other fragrances. Their candles are also some of the best out there, we especially love Big Sur After Rain, Breakfast Leipzig, and Tomb of Eagles. They're easily one of my go-to gifts for anyone who appreciates that kind of thing. A brand I return to again and again, and probably always will. 🖤✨

The packaging for DS & Durga is top notch, but I’m not as impressed with the actual products as much as I thought I would be. I have several Christmas tree candles from different brands, and this is the only version that does not smell tree like to me in any capacity. I don’t think others agree though, so maybe I have a weird candle or my sense of smell is off. All of the candles smelled pretty smoky to me, so they ended up smelling more similarly to each other than i anticipated. As far as throw goes, I found that the candle fills up a small room nicely but minimal throw in a larger room (speaking specifically of the Xmas tree candle). I was also disappointed to see that even though I burned the candle for 5 hours in the first burn, it still tunneled ok side. They’re still nice candles, I just hoped for a higher quality given the price point.
