Blaring Pixies music on a hot day that's the inspiration for D.S. and Duga woody fig scent, Debaser. For anyone who has heard Pixies front man Black Francis wail, the thought of a fig scent may seem an odd choice. But Debaser, named after the band's 1989 hit, is not a typically creamy, lactic or fruity fig. It's a bright, hot green scent that opens with a waft of fig tree broiling in the August sun. It's an energetic, warm, bold and woody fig.
Debaser's refrain, I am un chien andalusia, is a nod to the title of Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali's classic surrealist film. Black Francis said of Bunuel, I wish Bunuel were still alive. He made this film about nothing in particular.
The title itself is a nonsense. D.S. and Durgas Debaser is therefore a tribute to a song about a film about nothing in particular. And fittingly, it's a fragrance that becomes even more compelling in its drydown, when it sheds the specificity of its figgy verisimilitude. That's when a perfect blend of base notes iris, coconut, tonka and moss leave a cool, velvet soft hint of wood on skin. Earthy and addictive.
Debaser is a Aromatic Fruity fragrance for women and men. Debaser was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is David Seth Moltz. D.S. & Durga 243.5
