Ep. 176: Perfume, Tattoos, and Skateboards with D.S & Durga's Co-Founder

October 1, 2019 Fat Mascara

This week, while Jess was in L.A. visiting some friends, Jenn asked David Seth Moltz, co-founder of D.S & Durga, to be her co-host for this episode. David, a self-taught perfumer, started out mixing up his own fragrance concoctions in his Brooklyn home, when his wife Kavi Ahuja Moltz (the other half of D.S & Durga), suggested they start a business out of it, and the brand was born. Jenn and David talked tattoo care, what beauty can learn from streetwear, and pushing the art of perfume to more people.
