D.S. & Durga Burning Barbershop is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010, created by David Seth Moltz. Burning Barbershop opens with Lime and Mint, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. D.S. & Durga's Burning Barbershop carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Prepare for a scent that's as divisive as Marmite on toast. This is not a crowd-pleaser; it's a bold, unapologetic statement for those who dare to wear a burning campfire over a traditional fougère. You'll either love its smoky embrace or find it utterly unwearable.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and distinct smoky character make Burning Barbershop far too audacious for an office setting. It leans towards more intimate, atmospheric occasions like dates or casual evening wear, particularly in colder months, though some find it versatile enough for daily use.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a classic lavender barbershop fougère caught in a blaze. The initial blast delivers a punch of sharp lime and refreshingly cool mint, quickly intertwined with the comforting herbal sweetness of lavender. As it settles, a prominent, almost charred smoke note takes centre stage, eventually softening into a warm, dry vanilla base, like the calming aftermath of a fire.
