Kavi and David: David (aka DS) is a self-taught perfumer who has created his own aromatic language, a rarity in the perfume industry. Kavi (aka Durga) is an architect by training, she is the one who builds structures for their perfumes and cities for their universe.
Starting from scratch, the creative couple decided to take the plunge and do it their way. Starting as DIY pioneers in Brooklyn, they transformed everything that moved them in music, nature, myths and design into refined perfumes in their small apartment in Bushwick. All the perfumes are therefore homemade and always will be.
Each of their scents is a rich narrative. Everything they love about music, art, nature and design is told aromatically. Scents like fragments of half-remembered myths and imaginary landscapes that invite exploration. Liner notes, playlists, images, charts and films develop the world inside the glass.
Their perfumes are creations, authentic studies of real-world objects, plants and places integrated into stories that transport you to distant places, material and imaginary.
Their fragrances are 100% made in New York, a city at the heart of the brand and in the DNA of each fragrance. “It shapes our lives and our vision of the world. Everything is made here in the belly of the beast.”
