D.S. & Durga Steamed Rainbow was launched in 2023, created by David Seth Moltz. Notes of blood orange, elemi, grass, almond blossom, cedar, violet, vapor and vetiver. D.S. & Durga Steamed Rainbow is an eau de parfum, edp.
From the brand - "I've wanted to make something that smelled like a rainbow for a long time (especially inspired by Terry Riley's A Rainbow In Curved Air). The concept is to use materials of every color in the rainbow in a certain proportion that is softened in the humid air of their abode. Now you can wear rainbows. Wait 'til you sniff how delicate they are."
D.S. & Durga Steamed Rainbow Reviews
Fragrantica - "This fragrance smells like a nostalgic daydream. You can smell the vegetable notes at the top, they work together to bring out the hot humidity that the fragrance is named after. The green notes at the dry down are there for a moment, before the scent fades away like a lost memory. Not the best performance, but a super unique scent."
Fragrantica - "Goddddd I love this. Was so taken at the perfume counter that I pushed through the sticker shock. It's like walking through a garden conservatory, like a day of perfect weather. Just instantly makes me happy and motivated to get outside. I will say that when you first spray, it can read a little mildewy, but once it dries down it's so perfect. Fresh, damp grass and vegetation with just a hint of sweetness. Gonna be my go-to springtime scent for sure."
Fragrantica - "I love this so much! This is a happy scent for me. It reminds me of the most beautiful sunny day for some reason. It does have a wet towel type of scent as it dries down but that doesn’t last long. It turns into this light, airy, warm, citrus with a hint of woods and something watery in the background. To me it’s like a beautiful summer day in a bottle."
Fragrantica - "Smelling this fragrance makes me want to cry. I work in a cosmetics store, and I've never worn it as i am very much a gourmand/sweet perfume kid of girl, but now and then i will walk over to the durga section and smell it just to be teleported back to my 8-year-old self standing on the driveway of my holiday house during Christmas while it rains. This perfume is possibly one of the most beautiful examples of scents evoking memories, as i am literally transported there. i cant even focus on the other notes, its just the beautiful smell of fresh rain on the pavement, and the feeling of sweet nostalgia"
