D.S. & Durga is an indie fragrance house known for unconventional compositions and a focus on natural ingredients. Founded by David Moltz and Kavi Moltz, the brand has built a reputation for thoughtfully crafted scents that prioritize raw, distinctive character over mass appeal.

Leatherize opens with a sharp pink pepper that quickly gives way to a complex, smoky leather accord. The heart layers in cade oil, iris, and labdanum to create a balsamic, earthy character that feels aged and substantial. Cade oil and labdanum anchor the base alongside myrrh and vetiver, resulting in a fragrance that's simultaneously woody and animalic, with a persistent smoky undertone that makes the leather feel authentically weathered rather than polished.

This is a unisex fragrance best suited to those who appreciate leather fragrances with texture and depth. It works year-round but leans cooler and more introspective, making it ideal for fall and winter wear or evening occasions. If you gravitate toward The Dark Poet, The Sensualist, and The Maverick, Leatherize deserves attention.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified

pink pepper
pink pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
cade oil
cade oil
A dark, tarry oil distilled from the wood of the Juniperus oxycedrus tree, with an intensely smoky, leathery, and slightly medicinal character. Cade oil has a campfire-meets-leather quality that is bold and challenging but adds extraordinary depth and authenticity to leather and smoky compositions. Used sparingly for dramatic smoky effect.
iris
iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
labdanum
labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
orris

myrrh
myrrh
Deep, bittersweet, and slightly medicinal, myrrh is a resin with a complex, almost anise-like quality that sets it apart from frankincense. It adds a dark, almost sacred quality to oriental fragrances and is more challenging and assertive than its biblical companion. A note that rewards patience.
vetiver
vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
