Hot air that feels charged, almost oppressive. Heat suspended above the asphalt, softening its surface. The pressure trapped between concrete buildings only breaks when a burst of rain arrives. Cool, damp air hits the heated ground, triggering an instant rise of steam. A metallic scent hangs within it, while blades of grass push through small cracks in the concrete. A fragrance that carries the spirit of the city – in the best possible way: raw, mineral, alive.

Behind the Fragrance

"The scent after it rains is a favorite aromatic genre of mine – and many people as it turns out. Perfumers have a few tools to use in the category of ozone – or things that smell like water and air. Geosmin is the scent molecule released from bacteria in dirt after it rains. What's lovely, is that the Geosmin blends with different aromatics in different environments. Whereas in the forest it smells thanks yet fresh, in the city you get the scent of hot asphalt and concrete quickly cooled by rain. It is as if the whole city is boiling, overlapping in scent, and when rain and thunder come, all is released into the air in an instant. It smells fresh, unique and only of summer in the city.

Concrete Lightning is simple – you have the air, rain, steam, and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City." - David Seth Moltz

D.S. & Durga

D.S. & Durga is a Brooklyn-based brand whose fragrances tell stories that transport you to distant places. Each fragrance is a fragment of half-remembered myths of pioneers, boundary crossers, and cowboys, imaginary landscapes, salons, and workbenches that invite exploration. According to the founders, the art of a perfume lies not only in quality but also in the handling of the individual components. D.S. stands for David Seth Moltz, who taught himself how to make perfume. He lives his passion of transforming musical and literary spaces into fragrances. This also means that each individual fragrance is conceived and constructed in-house by D.S. & Durga, that is, without intermediaries or interpretation by external perfumers. Kavi (aka Durga) designs everything around the fragrances. By thinking in angles, light, shadow, and texture, she creates clarity in form and function. Through this constellation, everything the couple loves about music, art, nature, and design is elaborately told in aromatic form. All fragrances are invisible soundtracks that can be worn on the body throughout the day. The more you know the stories and events, the deeper you dive into the world of the bottle. The story, unexpected and novel combinations are the core of the aromatic vision.
