It’s episode 7 of the current season and this week it was a huge privilege to talk to David Seth Moltz. David is the co-founder of Brooklyn-based fragrance brand D.S. & Durga, along with his wife Kavi (he’s ‘D.S.’ and Kavi is ‘Durga’.)


It’s the first time I’ve talked to a perfumer on the podcast and David was absolutely fascinating. He is clearly someone who has a voracious appetite for all art forms and creative endeavours. It’s a rare thing for the brand owner to also be the perfumer and with D.S. & Durga David is able to channel his ideas and inspirations directly into the products - with no outside interference.


David also talked me through his bathroom essentials. It’s fair to say his routine is intentionally minimal, but it turns out it’s all about hair. If David is happy with his hair, then all is well! ;)
