Well, indie-ish.
Chris Collins spent decades modeling for Ralph Lauren, and clearly his time with the master of lifestyle brands rubbed off. Tokyo Blue is named after Japan’s Insta-friendly Shibuya Cave Illuminations, and features top notes of bergamot, galbanum and ylang ylang; middle notes of violet leaf, orris, orange blossom and rose; and base notes of cedarwood and musk. The violet gives it a gentlemanly barbershop quality, and its status as an extrait de parfum means you really can wear it all day.
This one envisions a time when cashmere shawls fell out of fashion, and wraps up their patchouli scented warmth with top notes of bergamot, angelica root and French lavender; middle notes of Bulgarian rose, ambrette seeds and akigala wood; and base notes of patchouli and tonka bean. It’s inviting and intensely comforting, just like your favorite sweater.Brooklyn-based fragrance brand DS & Durga makes some of the most imaginative scents you can buy today. Case in point: Mississippi Medicine.
