Radio Bombay, created by David Seth Moltz for DS&Durga in 2016, is a woody scent above all, with a soft sweetness, musky warmth and amber, plus a light floral touch. It is worn by anyone.

Cedar opens it, dry and clean. The heart is where it becomes distinctive: sandalwood brings a creamy, milky smoothness, iris a cool powder, peach a gentle fruitiness and boronia a tea-like, slightly fruity floral note. The base deepens the sandalwood with coconut for a soft, creamy sweetness, while ambergris, musk and ambrette add a warm, skin-like glow and balsam fir a faint resinous green.

Most people report moderate longevity, some weak, and a trail that is moderate or close to the skin. Votes are split between autumn and summer, with daytime preferred. It suits relaxed days, work and quiet moments, for someone who wants creamy sandalwood worn close.

Radio Bombay — unisex fragrance by DS&Durga (released 2016). Top notes: Woody Notes, Cedar. Heart notes: Sandalwood, Iris, Peach, Boronia. Base notes: Sandalwood, Coconut, Ambergris, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Balsam Fir, Musk. — Parfica open fragrance database
