D.S. & Durga Leatherize is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by David Seth Moltz. Leatherize opens with Blond Leather and Cubeb, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Iris, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Cade and Myrrh. D.S. & Durga's Leatherize carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a proper beast, not for the faint of heart. You'll either love its intensely realistic leather and smoke, or you'll think you've stumbled into a barbecue joint. Utterly divisive, but a masterpiece for the right wearer.

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.

Casual

Given its strong sillage and potent leather profile, this isn't suitable for office wear. It shines on a date or for casual outings where you want to make a statement, but it's too unconventional for most formal settings and definitely not for sport.

About

Leatherize dives headfirst into a dark and robust leather, immediately hitting you with an almost animalic tang, intensified by smoky cade and resinous myrrh. As it settles, a touch of powdery iris emerges, softening the edges but never truly taming its wild spirit. Earthy cypriol grounds this intensely woody and ambery blend, maintaining a raw, authentic leather throughout.
