Crush Balls D.S. & Durga — a fragrance with a playful character
Crush Balls Eau de Parfum by D.S. & Durga is a 2023 unisex fragrance built around the unexpected and instantly recognizable image of a tennis ball.
It is a green, aromatic fragrance with an energetic, fresh character and a distinct artistic concept.
Here, a sporty atmosphere meets the brand’s signature love of cinematic stories, objects and memories transformed into an olfactory narrative.
The name Crush Balls refers to the moment a ball is struck, when dry court greenery, heated rubber, fresh grass and the cleanliness of sportswear mingle in the air.
The composition does not seek to be classically calm or predictable: it plays with the contrast between juicy green nuances, aromatic herbs and the abstract softness of cotton.
That is why the description of Crush Balls will particularly appeal to those looking for an unusual fragrance with an unconventional theme and a vivid mood.
Note pyramid and development
The notes listed for Crush Balls are cotton, floral notes, grass, rosemary and a tennis-ball accord.
The top, middle and base notes are not specified separately, so it is more accurate to perceive the composition as a unified accord in which several materials emerge at once.
In the first few minutes, the green side of the fragrance is especially noticeable: grass and rosemary create an effect of fresh air, movement and open space.
As it develops, a softer, cleaner cotton sensation appears, while floral nuances add a light, airy quality to the composition.
The tennis-ball accord makes the fragrance unusual and slightly surreal, as though transporting you to a sports court on a sunny day.
On the skin, Crush Balls retains its dynamism but gradually becomes rounder and more textured, making it interesting to test not only on a blotter but also over several hours.
Character, sillage and wearability
Crush Balls is released as an eau de parfum and positioned as a unisex fragrance.
Its sillage is rated as very strong, so the composition will suit those who enjoy a noticeable presence and want the fragrance to remain in the air after they leave.
This is not a quiet office fragrance, but an expressive choice for walks, parties, creative events and situations where individuality is welcome.
Its green and aromatic character reveals itself especially well in warm weather, when fresh herbal nuances sound full and natural.
At the same time, the unusual tennis-ball accord also makes Crush Balls appealing for transitional seasons: it can refresh a cool day and add a sporty, slightly daring note to an outfit.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not available, so it is best to adjust the dosage gradually, taking the very strong sillage into account.
Perfumer and brand style
Crush Balls was created by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Ahuja Moltz. Their work continues the signature D.S.
& Durga approach, in which fragrance becomes more than just a beautiful blend of notes: it becomes a way to tell a story through details.
Here, a familiar sports object is transformed into a fully developed perfumery image that is fresh, strange, clean and highly memorable all at once.
Crush Balls reflects the brand’s creative DNA particularly well: its love of unexpected associations, vivid scenes and contemporary urban culture.
It will appeal to fans of niche perfumery who quickly grow tired of standard citrus, woody or floral formulas.
No other concentrations of this fragrance are listed in the available information.

If you enjoy the green freshness of Crush Balls, Olfactive Studio Panorama is worth exploring.
As alternatives, you might also consider Givenchy Pi Air and Lancôme Ô de Lancôme Fourreauté, although each of these fragrances interprets the fresh, green theme in its own way.
Crush Balls remains the most conceptual and unusual option in this selection, thanks to its tennis-ball accord and exceptionally powerful sillage.
