D.S. & Durga: Debaser

A Celebration of Slicing Up Nature

Peppery, freshly chopped grass. You can almost feel its crunchy-softness underfoot when you spritz on this scent. Crush and tear some handfuls of grass, leaving your hands sticky and green, and THAT is Debaser.

Tart lemon slices smashed and muddled into ice-cold cucumber water.

Fig and coconut mimic the milky latex sap from crushed dandelion stems.

This scent feels raw, wild and disruptive, but it’s the joyous violence of jumping around and making a mess with flowers.

Pear introduces a dewy note, rather than a fruit-forward one, wrapping the whole scene in a dreamlike veil. It suggests the subtle sweetness of dew, rather than a sugary hit. The carroty iris adds a vegetal, wet-garden air that grounds the chaos in earthy familiarity—the comfort of being in nature.

Debaser was inspired by the Pixies song of the same name, and both song and scent radiate youthful, unapologetic energy that leaves you feeling an almost cathartic sense of release and freedom. It’s a fragrance that pushes you, full-force, towards the kind of liberation that loves a messy masterpiece.
