The Scoop

A handmade transistor radio housed in soft sandalwood crackles out a burst of music in the stifling summer heat of Bandra, Mumbai. The copper tubes warm the wood, releasing smooth, creamy ribbons of fragrance, the air richly inflected with local spices, fruit ripening on the trees, flowers from the market, and the musk of millions of people making their way through the sun-shot city. Gentle and natural with one sniff, vibrant and energetic with the next, Radio Bombay is an elusive new sandalwood as only D.S. & Durga would think to make it- completely infused with the spirit and soul of India.

Here's what other people are saying about Radio Bombay...

A modern evocative take on sandalwood, this light airy beauty combines a central note of sandalwood with notes of musk mallow, iris, boronia, balsam fir, and a slight hint of coconut to evoke a 'spot on' of many Mumbai apartment homes. This is probably as close to the smell of my mothers Mumbai apartment. It's all the sandalwood incense burnt with the saltiness of the dampness left by the heavy monsoons. It is not for those wanting a straight sandalwood but more of an ambient sandalwood which is musky and somewhat musty. Light to moderate sillage and longevity and unisex. One of the cutest perfumes I have in my collection but it is a matter of individual taste and preference.

Gorgeous creamy sandalwood and cedar! The perfect creamy wood scent for both men and women.

Gorgeous, tropical, creamy wood! I can not get enough! The coconut seems to play very nicely with the wood and not take over. I don't get the "copper" note. I don't notice anything like that at all. But whatever, it's amazing stuff.

DS & Durga being site-specific and gorgeous again. The copper note at the top is quick to move on, but while it's there it adds a modern, clear note to the sandalwood and cedar proceedings. Next to the coconut in the heart, iris (or is that the less-familiar boronia?) presents as cumin-like -- a little dry, a little spice-like, and pleasantly warm. All this is delightful, and then comes the delicious drydown -- relaxed and perfectly modulated. Wonderful in all respects.

I love this! It starts warm and spicy and then leaves me enveloped in a comforting cloud of cedar, which apparently no one but me could smell. Like having a secret room.
