Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
Summer in Queens joined the D.S. & Durga portfolio in 2022. A unisex fragrance belonging to the green, wood, floral, and mineral families. Kavi Ahuja Moltz and David Seth Moltz worked their magic — and the result speaks for itself. By character, it falls into the green, wood, and fairy groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of floral can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. Released in eau de parfum.
Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. For fabric application, 2-3 sprays are plenty. This fragrance doesn't rush to leave — you can count on high longevity. The birthplace of this fragrance — the United States, a place with a refined nose. Summer in Queens D.S. & Durga — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Summer in Queens is shaped as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of D.S. & Durga is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
The accord profile rests on these accords: Floral, Wood and Mineral forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms High suggests confident staying power.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a voluminous floral mood: Cherry Blossom, Clover, Concrete, Guaiac wood, Lily of the Valley, Wormwood and oak.
The deeper layers are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Fairy, Floral, Green and Wood. It also reaches into Whiteflower, Earthy / Mossy and Mineral.
In summary Summer in Queens sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory.
