Inspired by the classic whodunnits, D.S. & Durga launched the Murder Mystery Layering Set, which builds a story around its I Don't Know What fragrance enhancer and its "missing" heart notes. In the set, there's a miniature bottle of I Don't Know What that can be mixed and matched with other scents with Clue-like names like Pat Vol Chouli, Professor Rose and Madam Currant.
"While solving the mystery of who stole the heart of I DON'T KNOW WHAT (our fragrance with no heart note section), one can honestly make their own perfume and endlessly play with these six fumes I believe fragrance can live on the level of literature," said David of the husband-and-wife team who founded D.S. & Durga.
