Up on the roof, out on the road
Down within the playground, the new concrete
Bus journey is simply too sluggish

Kavi and David Seth Moltz, Founders of D.S. & Durga

Music has at all times been an enormous a part of D.S.& Durgas’ DNA. A Spotify Playlist of over fifty songs testifies to that. David has curated a Spotify playlist particularly for Rockaway Beach.  Summer season songs like summer season fragrances will be loved year-round however they actually click on greatest within the season.Don’t count on any Seaside Boys. However the place are the Cramps, David? Now let’s get to D.S. & Durga Rockaway Seaside the fragrance, composed by David Seth Moltz. As you’ll be able to think about that is an aquatic one. Let me come straight out and say it, I’m not a fan of aquatic fragrances which is odd since I’m a Pisces, go determine. Why you ask? As a result of many smells like solar tan lotion =cheap. If you wish to scent like solar tan lotion put on solar tan lotion! It’s cheaper. For me,whereas they by no means offend, they’re unlikely to wow both.  Not like Jazmin Yucatan, the place the aquatic is hidden within the jungle, that is D.S. & Durga’s first full-on Aquatic (to me it’s extra Marine, however extra on that later).

D.S. & Durga Rockaway Seaside speaks to the standard of the compositions. Not one for protected, his scents make you assume and react, and this one actually does, and never at all times in a great way. Polarizing scent. And that’s the way in which it must be. And don’t count on that phony suntan lotion that different hoist. Right here it’s muted as a result of punks don’t scent like poseurs.

We’re not in St. Tropez or St. Barts. No clear and blue ocean water right here. That is darkish, soiled, and harmful. You simply don’t know what’s subsequent to you. Rockaway Seaside isn’t any seaside trip. The Ramones don’t sing about that nor does David Seth Moltz’s perfume take you to a elaborate seaside resort. Don’t let your guard down. It is a kick within the ass keep alert scent.

What’s inflicting that you simply may ask? It might be the salt flowering privet. Or possibly the lactonic notice that verges on being spoiled? The ocean salt hits because it feels on an open wound. And whereas the white floral lurks about it doesn’t fairly it up. Similar with the musk, the damaging ocean overtakes it. Extra sea salt.

Rockaway Seaside is actually extra marine than aquatic. What’s the distinction you could ask? Aquatic is freshwater, marine is sea. Rockaway Seaside isn’t for the faint of coronary heart, nevertheless it dares you to put on it. So how wearable is it? Are you a punk or…?
