What was once just a fan-favorite candle has now turned into a wearable personal fragrance thanks to the latest launch from D.S. & Durga, Concrete Lightning. The Brooklyn-based immersive fragrance brand is known to drop a limited-edition, small-batch Studio Juice from time to time, and this one turns the beloved home fragrance of the Concrete After Lightning candle into a zingy, expressive eau de parfum.
"Concrete Lightning is simple," says the brand, "You have the air, rain, steam, and some of the weeds that grow in the cracks of New York City." True to this description, the unconventional eau de parfum plays with top notes of electricity and panic grass, heart notes of summer rain and ozone, and a base grounded by the unmistakable essence of steam and concrete.
