D.S. & Durga is an independent New York-based fragrance house founded by perfumers Davidoff and Durga in 2010, known for their artistic approach to scent composition and evocative fragrance names that blur the line between olfactory and visual storytelling.

Radio Bombay opens with a dry woody and cedary top, immediately establishing an earthy, somewhat austere character. The heart brings warmth through a creamy sandalwood and iris combination, with peach and boronia adding subtle floral sweetness and fruit notes that prevent the composition from becoming too austere. The base deepens into a rich, amber-woody finish with sandalwood, coconut, and musk creating a creamy, skin-like drydown, while ambergris and balsam fir add subtle marine and resinous undertones.

This is a contemplative, understated fragrance best suited for someone seeking woody sophistication without the typical oak moss heaviness. It works well in cooler seasons and leans slightly masculine despite its unisex classification, though the creamy sandalwood and peach heart give it enough softness for anyone. If you gravitate toward compositions like The Homesteader, The Romantic, or The Tactician, Radio Bombay deserves consideration.

Sandalwood
Sandalwood
Creamy, smooth, and milky with a soft, skin-like warmth that clings beautifully. True Mysore sandalwood is one of perfumery's most precious ingredients, simultaneously wood and skin, never cold or sharp. It rounds off sharp edges in any composition and makes the wearer smell subtly, irresistibly warmer.
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.
Peach
Peach
Ripe, juicy, and velvety, peach has a warm, slightly creamy sweetness that feels lush rather than childish in the right context. It adds a fruity sensuality to floral and oriental fragrances, and its slightly fuzzy quality can even play into tactile, skin-like accords. A note that feels like high summer.

Coconut
Coconut
Creamy, tropical, and slightly sunscreen-like, coconut reads as summery and carefree. In light doses it adds a beachy sweetness; in heavier use it can veer into suntan lotion territory. Most effective when paired with citrus or florals to lift it from the beach bar and into the realm of wearable tropical fragrance.
Ambrette (Musk Mallow)
Ambrette (Musk Mallow)
Ambergris
Ambergris
One of perfumery's most storied materials, a waxy substance produced by sperm whales with a uniquely salty, sweet, earthy quality. Real ambergris is nearly unobtainable; most perfumers use synthetic alternatives. It adds a marine warmth and incredible fixative quality, making fragrances smell more 'alive' and skin-like.
Balsam Fir
Balsam Fir
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
