DS & Durga Spectral Doorway ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 4 October 2024 Leave a Comment

Indie brand DS & Durga has launched Spectral Doorway, a new limited edition seasonal fragrance.

A strange and unusual aura of ether, ghostly old pages, magic chalk, and supernatural fumes dosed with funerary incense.

***

"Beetlejuice is a favorite in Kavi’s and my household. Every Halloween we pull it out and watch it with the kids. It’s influential on so many levels. The lighter side of horror seems to me adjacent to an interest in the Spirit World and mythology. Beetlejuice’s set, costume, music, characters, dialogue, and effects all coalesce to create a masterpiece.

This fume imagines that smoky scene when Adam and Barbara access the spirit world by drawing a chalk door on brick. The wall opens up to spectral fumes and muted light. Echos of funerary incense haunt the scene in the attic by the town model." — D.S.

The notes include funerary incense, soft chalk, bright cotillion
, artemisia, model trees, vapor, vermillion patchouli, vegan beetle musk and decayed paper.

DS & Durga Spectral Doorway is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum, $250.
