About this Event

ABOUT THE EVENT:

Join us for a spooky and special fragrance masterclass with DS&DURGA. We'll be joined by Brandon Silva, US Sales Manger for DS&DURGA as we discover the many mysteries of fragrance layering.

Using the DS&DURGA M**der Mystery Fragrance Layering Set, you'll learn about fragrance composition and how to combine and customize your own signature scent with the elusive and peculiar characters found within.

After the guided lesson, there will also be an opportunity for hands-on experimentation using the layering set.

Our guests will also be among the first to smell the newest Studio Juice launch from DS&DURGA, Well-Dressed Werewolf, on the day of the event.

TICKET PRICE:

$50 | Applicable toward a DS&DURGA purchase on the day of the event.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST + GIVEAWAY:

Creative Halloween costumes are encouraged! We'll be hosting a Halloween Costume Contest at this event, judged by Brandon. The guest with the best Halloween costume will win the DS&DURGA M**der Mystery Layering Set (valued at $275).

GIFTS WITH PURCHASE:

Enjoy free gifts from DS&DURGA, including 75ml fragrances, tote bags, auto fragrances, body care and more, with your purchase on the night of the event.

ABOUT THE EDUCATOR:

Brandon Silva is the US Sales Manager for DS&DURGA. He currently resides in Austin Texas after 8 great years in Los Angeles, CA and has been working for the brand since March of 2022. Brandon is what he likes to call the OG Super Fan of the brand and has been following along David and Kavi's journey since 2010 when he first discovered the brand while living in NYC ( Burning Barbershop was his first love!) Today you can usually find him wearing the cult favorite, I DONT KNOW WHAT layered over RADIO BOMBAY or STEAMED RAINBOW -- or sometimes all three at once! He is a double Scorpio with Virgo tendencies --for inquiring minds.

In the freetime he finds, Brandon is usually nerding out smelling other niche perfumes as he has a growing collection of over 200 bottles at home. He usually has his hands full loving on his dog and cat and loves to spend time outside in nature trails , attending a live music show, working in the garden or hitting up a speakeasy bar for some hand crafted cocktails. Favorite album and artist at the moment (and Chicago locals!) - Pixel Grip - Their new album, Percepticide the Death of Reality is on HEAVY repeat these days.
