DS and Durga Pros & Cons according to customers

Pros
  • 100% love these guys. The scents are ridiculously good.
  • I got the candle "Concrete After Lightning" and it is incredible! It has such a strong scent that fills the room, burns slow, and looks great.
  • I like these fragrances more each time I try them. My current favourites are Debaser—creamy fig with some wood, El Cosmico—dry, almost pine-like desert scent, Mississippi Medicine and I don’t know what.
  • The website feels like a true brand experience and communicates the perfume through colour, music, feeling and mood.
  • Everything about D.S. & Durga is on point - original, creative and playful branding, unique scents that people will stop you to ask about, long lasting perfume that plays well with body chemistry, and recyclable and biodegradable shipping materials.
  • Their fragrances are really unique and last for a long time.
  • D.S. & Durga is hands down the greatest fragrance company in the states, with people always complimenting when they wear them.
  • Absolute best, unexpected scents with people always complimenting when they wear them.
  • I Don't Know What is a much more lowkey scent than Santal in that people always compliment it but it isn't trendy in the same way.
Cons
  • It might take a few sniffs to properly evaluate the fragrances.
  • I blind purchased the "I don't know what" fragrance enhancer and was not a fan of the smell.
  • Everyone says "they're so expensive" but one spray goes a long way.
