Wipeout! New D.S. & Durga Fragrance

Take a break this summer, over board-shops filled with flower patterns nestled near touristy trinket stores and wretched hat racks. Wipeout!

Hold Your Breath Get Ready for Wipeout

Wipeout is stimulated by Moltz’s childhood, growing up in a small ocean town just north of Boston. “It doesn’t matter where you are. There’s usually a surf shop that smells like suntan lotion, and there are flower prints all over the place,” he said. The fragrance’s notes include Hawaiian flowers, like frangipani and tuberose, plus suntan lotion and coconut milk, Moltz said.

I dig anywhere by the ocean. I grew up on the coast and love the culture of seaside towns. There’s always a shop with board shorts, towels, and vague active-wear covered in tropical plants. You’ll find a monument of overpriced rainbow-hued sunglasses next to dead local trinkets. A sad hat rack with floppy buckets and snap backs advertise the “salt life.”

Possibly a showcase of signature keychains (whose makers must schvitz trying to keep up with the multitude of first names these days). This store smells of sun tan lotion, coconuts, the sea outside, and flowery soaps appearing to whisk you away to the South Pacific. As if the flower prints on the clothes have come alive. Surf’s up! - D.S.
