D.S. & Durga for J.Crew Homesteader's cologne

S. & Durga, a Brooklyn-based company that creates colognes using small-batch production methods, premium raw materials and inspiration that runs the gamut from herbal medicine tomes to pre-industrial workshops in New England. The result? Distinctive, nuanced scents in bottles too handsome to hide in the medicine cabinet. After meeting with our men's designer and hearing about a cool, foggy day he spent visiting Big Sur, D.S. & Durga whipped up a handcrafted scent that incorporates the wild herbs and homesteading history of the Old Coast Trail—think Monterey cypress, eucalyptus and dusty sagebrush, cooled by tones of coastal woods and sea kelp.
