D.S. & Durga reviews and discussion

purchased the fragrance tester after being bewitched by two friends who used the coriander and debaser perfumes. kind of a racket that they charge $40 but they do let you use that as credit toward a full sized bottle. i guess, capitalism but like... really guys? anyways, i'm hooked on the scents, they are so sophisticated and fun, but most of all INTERESTING. i have been a devoted glossier you user for years and decided i wanted to switch it up. it's fun to test drive 4x new fragrances and i will definitely be purchasing the full sized product at the end of my self-induced trial period. the candles i really want to like but they have a slight fake-smelling scent and don't seem as premium as ds and durga probably wants them to be.

Fell in love with the fragrance coriander from a roll-on sample that seemed to last for a few hours. I ordered the perfume spray and noticed quickly that it doesn’t even seem to last for a few minutes. I emailed customer service immediately and they could not help me unless I brought it into their LA store. I’ve been wearing it for seven months now and no one has ever smelled it on me. The only reason I give it two stars is because the scent is incredible in the bottle. I wish it lasted even for a few hours on the skin.

My husband loves the D.S. & Durga candles. My 21 year old daughter's boyfriend was nice enough to buy my husband a candle for his birthday. My husband dropped the candle as he carried his things including the candle to his car so he could take the candle to his office. The glass that holds the candle broke so the candle was not usable. TOTALLY NOT the fault of D.S. & Durga. I reached out to D.S. & Turga letting them know what happened to see if there was something they could do. I was disappointed by their response because although I know losing the expensive candle was not their fault, good customer service could have resulted in them giving us a replacement candle or offering a discount on a replacement but instead this is what they wrote. It think it is short sighted because instead of getting a customer for life they now lost a customer for life. Hello Rosanna, Hello, and thank you for reaching out. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband’s candle, and I appreciate you sharing the details and images. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to send a replacement in this case. I understand the disappointment, and if there’s anything else I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your understanding! Best, Ashley

Love this brand! Such a fun atmosphere when you shop there and such a pleasant product! Makes for the perfect gift in fact have gifted multiple *perfumes* and their cute *car scents*!

They make some of my favorite fragrances out there. I've been wearing I Don't Know What for two years now and it's become my (and my husband's) go-to scent. Because it's a fragrance enhancer, it develops differently on both of us. It's the best.

I tried 3 of D.S. & Durga perfumes (Radio Bombay, Cowboy Grass, Debaser). I would say Debaser is my favorite! Cowboy grass smells so good but it doesn't stay long enough.

scents are unique but generally heavily musky; it's an acquired taste. staying power throughout the day is mid.

Pleasant scents that smell trendy (maybe a little too trendy?). Terrible sample bottles which either don’t function or barely function and the worst shipping - don’t expect to get anything within a month.

100% love these guys. The scents are ridiculously good.

I purchased a sample set to see which fragrances appealed to me. From trying those out, I purchased the full sizes of “Mississippi Medicine” and “I don’t know what.” They smell great and I always get compliments when I wear them.

Their fragrances are really unique and last for a long time. I feel like I finally found my new signature scent after a very long time with Le Labo haha.
