ROYGBIV reflections on soft, weightless water streaming upwards.

Inspired by Terry Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air, Steamed Rainbow chooses ingredients representing every color of the rainbow, carefully proportioned to create a truly prismatic fragrance- bright, fresh, uniquely delicate. Mouthwateringly fresh fruits gain gentle contrast from yellow elemi resin, while aromatic green cedarwood and sweet almond and violet flowers rest atop a refreshing base of clean, spicy vetiver and an evocatively watery vapor accord. What does a rainbow smell like? Perhaps unsurprisingly, a little bit of everything, and you're going to love finding out.

Here's what other people are saying about Steamed Rainbow...

I didn't think I could find a fragrance I like less than The Soft Lawn (IA, 2021) but here we have it. The absolute worst smelling, musty, mildewy mess of a fragrance I have ever sniffed. If you have ever wondered what a backed up garbage disposal left for a month might smell like, look no further than Steamed Rainbow. This is the first and only D.S. & Durga fragrance I have ever smelled, and while I am still curious about the brand, this one really threw me off. I love a stinker, but this is just a mess.

This scent is definitely experimental, which I love since a lot of the scents I choose emulate a memory or a place I've been. The vapor notes mixed in with some of the grass and resin remind me of the spring and summer seasons in south Florida I've experienced as a kid. It definitely gives liminal space as a scent while still being clean and appealing. I think of how much swimming I've done in chlorine pools, playing in the playgrounds at parks, and even the smell of humidity and pretrichor during hurricane season. A must-have, I may say.

I can imagine how this scent might appeal to people who live in a dry climate. I’ve heard people describe the scent as being reminiscent of the air when stepping off a plane in a tropical locale. However, if you live somewhere like the PNW, as I do, this scent might just remind you of the musty basement suite you lived in in your early 20s, or the eternally damp towels in your bathroom. All that being said, I do find that there is something very intriguing about this scent. It does have a cool factor. But if it reminds you of a damp used bath towel, it might not be something you’re gonna want to wear.

This scent is unreal, telling a specific and nostalgic story I can hardly believe. It opens with a plastic smell - think brand new pool toys or a Slip 'n Slide - then settles into petrichor and vetiver, transporting me to May in a Mediterranean climate. In Portland, we call this false spring, with fleeting patches of humid sunshine amid hailstorms. Steamed Rainbow reminds me of manicured gardens, wild forest trails, and a blooming lupine patch behind the Linnton Community Center. A couple of hours later, it smells like the end of a sunny day by water - warm, aquatic, and uniquely floral. Unforgettable.

Initially, I had no idea what to expect when I received a fragrance sample. However, I was pleasantly surprised! It's like taking a dip in a fruity, floral, steamy bubble with a dash of vanilla. The scent is perfect for a girl’s night out or a date night during the fall and winter season. I even layered it with Baccarat 540, and it complemented it very well. I'm completely sold and ordering a full-size bottle right away!
