LINER NOTES
I Don’t Know What is a wonderful tool for anyone who wants to play around with perfume. Of course it can be worn as a modern wonderfully transparent aroma, but it can also be layered over anything. Often when I leave the house, I will wear a touch of sandalwood, rose, jasmine, patchouli, oud, etc. These oils are lovely but can be muddy and they don’t last more than a few hours. IDKW sprayed over them makes the oil into a PERFUME. It does this because it is made with no notes!
It is a secret combination of materials that perfumers use to highlight and enhance notes in a perfume. A Bergamot accord announces freshness, Vetiver Acetate a thin amber, Firsantol a lingering sandalwood, Iso E Super a radiance, and so on.
It is like a building with only structure—no interior. You can fill in the interior with an oil, a scent you like, even an old scent that has lost its way. IDKW is built to layer and enhance everything else it touches.
INGREDIENTS
Fragrance (Parfum), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Citral, Limonene, Linalool

D.S. & Durga believes the power of scent is equal to that of sight and sound. A great perfume is a keyhole into another realm; an invisible landscape that you can enter and explore any time.
Kavi and David: David (a.k.a D.S.) is a self-taught perfumer who created his own aromatic language—a rarity in the perfume industry. Kavi (a.k.a Durga) is a trained architect who builds buildings for our scents and cities for our universe.
Each of their fumes is a rich narrative. All that they love in music, art, nature, and design told aromatically. Their scents are fragments of half-remembered myths and imaginary landscapes that invite exploration. Liner notes, playlists, images, graphics, and films expand upon the world inside the glass.
