Parquet Leather Candle
D.S. & durga is an independent, Brooklyn-based fragrance house known for its artful, narrative-driven perfumes.
Parquet leather by D.S. & durga is an evocative fragrance inspired by the atmosphere of a 1970s basketball court. It blends polished maple wood with notes of orange rubber and worn leather, creating a warm, nostalgic “brown” scent reminiscent of vintage gymnasiums and high-top sneakers. Sporty yet refined, it offers an architectural, atmospheric take on athletic fragrance rather than a traditional fresh profile.
The Vibe: Nostalgic, woody, and athletic; it mimics the specific scent of a waxed parquet floor and a fresh Spalding basketball.
Top Notes: A sharp, interesting opening of orange rubber and aldehydes that recreates the "new shoe" or "new ball" smell.
Heart Notes: The center of the fragrance is dominated by maple wood and red leather, providing a sturdy, warm, and slightly sweet backbone.
Base Notes: Dries down into a long-lasting finish of cedar, oakmoss, and resin, grounding the scent in a classic woody profile.
