DS & DURGA Concrete After Lightning Candle is a fougère candle. Geosmin is the perfume molecule released by bacteria in the earth after rain. This molecule blends differently with aromas depending on the environment. In the forest it takes on a humid and fresh scent, in the city the scent of hot asphalt quickly cooled by rain. Electric crackling, summer storm, Panicum grass, crisp steam rising from the asphalt. A sense of relief on sultry summer days. It's as if the entire city is boiling, and when the storm comes everything is released into the air in an instant. Concrete After Lightning is the fresh, unique, inimitable smell of summer in the city: the air, the rain, the steam and the grass growing in the cracks of New York.
