Created in 2013 by the Brooklyn-based brand D.S. & Durga, this niche fragrance draws its name from master violin bow makers. Why? Because it literally smells like their world. Polished wood, warm resins, and dusty workbenches in a 19th-century Massachusetts violin shop.

Crafted for women who love depth and character in their scent. The kind who doesn’t follow trends. She makes them.

What’s the vibe? Artsy. Mysterious. Intellectual. A fragrance for gallery walks, forest escapes, or cozy winter cafés. Perfect for fall and winter, the colder the air, the warmer it blooms.

Need projection? The sillage is intimate to moderate. It whispers, never shouts. Longevity? Lasts 6–9 hours on most skin types. A slow burn. A memory waiting to be sparked.

Is it for everyone? No. Is it unforgettable? Absolutely.

The bottle is minimalist and sleek like a violin case turned perfume flask. Clean lines, clear amber liquid, bold font. Nothing extra. All art. You’ll feel like you're walking into a woodshop where time stands still. Where scent and soul meet.

Step into the heart of a 19th-century violin workshop with D.S. & Durga’s Bowmakers, where every note tells a story of artistry. The top notes hit with the sharp, polished zing of violin varnish and rich mahogany, evoking the warm glow of freshly crafted wood like opening a violin case in a sunlit studio. 

As it settles, the heart weaves in amber pine rosin, crisp cypress, and a whisper of maplewood, delivering a resinous, forest-fresh depth that feels like breathing in the soul of a luthier’s craft. 

The base grounds it all with spiced tree resin, earthy moss, and cedar, leaving a lingering, soulful warmth that’s as comforting as a well-played melody. Some find a slight synthetic edge in the dry-down, but the woody richness steals the show for fall and winter’s cozy feelings.
