DS & Durga Bowmakers ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 12 April 2012 6 Comments

DS & Durga Bowmakers

Brooklyn-based indie perfumers DS & Durga will launch Bowmakers, a new unisex fragrance, in May:

Amongst the transcendental woods of the 1800s, craftsmen from the Massachusetts Bay Colony built violins & bows in the tiny towns of the Pioneer Valley. The shops were riddled with old growth mahogany, burled maple shavings, amber pine rosin, aged walnut & their unique secret varnishes.

DS & Durga Bowmakers will be available in 30 ml, concentration unknown, for $110.

    So… A splash of this and I’ll smell like a cabinet shoppe? Awesome.

    Hmm, sounds interesting. Lots of different woods in there – I wonder how this will translate. Hopefully not dominated by pine.

      I would not mind — there aren’t enough good pine fragrances out there.

    Oh, gosh – I will have to smell this – since I live in and love the Pioneer Valley – and since it sounds really nice.
