Scent Story:
Most adults of that era found the 80s vapid and in poor taste, but man, how magic it seems to the children of the 80s. When Kavi and I bought our first car in NYC we almost went safe with some terrible modern monstrosity. But then we answered an ad on craigslist and found a pristine ’85 300 turbo diesel Mercedes-Benz for cheap. The scent was the same as I remembered. It seemed fancy to own what was once an actual luxury. It is a car of timeless elegance. Its boxy look brings to mind all 80s movies, the Alps, and awkward fancy life that wasn’t attainable to anyone I knew in the 80s.

Trim wicks to 1/4" prior to each lighting. Place candle on heat resistant surface. Container will be hot when candle is lit and shortly thereafter. Allow candle to cool completely before moving. Keep candle away from drafts.

For best results, burn candle no less than 1 hour and no more than 4 hours at a time. Discontinue use when 1/2" of wax remains.

Warning:
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Burn within sight. Keep away from things that catch fire and out of reach of children and pets.

D.S. & Durga make perfume and cologne in small batches using premium-sourced raw materials. All scents are created exclusively in-house. Some of their inspiration comes from outdated herbal wisdom, native ritual medicine, lore and legends, historical movements and Americana. The scents are the stories of prospectors, gentry, trailblazers, frontier women, drawing rooms, workbenches, cowboys – fragments of half-remembered legends, movements, events, and foreign lands.
