D.S. & Durga Bowmakers is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by David Seth Moltz. Bowmakers opens with Mahogany, settles into a heart of Maple, Woody, Leather, and Walnut, and dries down to a base of Resin. D.S. & Durga's Bowmakers carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bowmakers is a polarising scent, utterly authentic yet surprisingly wearable for some, while others find it too literal. Expect an olfactory trip to an artisan's workshop - wood, varnish, and all - but be warned, some find it a bit too much like body odour.

Its distinctive woody, resinous, and borderline 'varnish' accords might be too strong or unusual for a typical office setting. However, its natural, cozy dry down and moderate sillage make it suitable for casual wear, especially in cooler weather, with some finding it surprisingly sexy for dates.

About

It opens with a sharp, almost industrial blast of varnish and resin, instantly transporting you to a bustling antique wood workshop. This initial intensity mellows into a rich, dry woody heart, dominated by mahogany and pine, with hints of maple and walnut. A subtle leather note emerges in the dry-down, blending with the lingering balsamic and amber accords for a smooth, warm finish.
