I met model Leilani Bishop on a photoshoot in the early 90s. Her career as a Fashion, Fragrance, Runway and Music Video model, Leilani has created a beautiful line of fragrance oils. Our first profile featuring an American designer…her friend Zac Posen. This is a worldwide draw.
Since music has always been a part of my life, naturally I love listening to all sorts of things while working in my studio. Coming from a gothic youth, my roots go back to darkwave bands like The Cure

I love the smell of winter on you when you come in from the snow, the brown smell of dead leaves and the Salt Spray roses that grow along the beaches. Many of these early scent memories were catalysts for D.S. & Durga fragrances-David Seth Moltz, D.S. & Durga
I have met some wonderful mentors & perfumers whose expertise helped me in my career. Among them were my teacher Virginia Bonofiglio and perfumers Jean-Claude Delville & Sophia Grojsman.
