While the majority of the world's biggest fashion and beauty firms have already made the move to the Web3, the fragrance industry isn't so eager to follow suit. It is one of the newest fragrance companies to enter the NFT and Metaverse market with DS & Durga, a perfume that is only available in the Metaverse. D&D is the brainchild of Fvckrender, renowned crypto and NFT artist who has collaborated with the likes of Puma, Spotify, Instagram, and Christian Dior. Established in 2017 by David and Kavi Moltz, DS & Durga is a boutique perfumery with its own in-house production. Fragrances that others may only dream of are what sets this partnership apart from the rest of the world.
Manticore Musk, a blue-chip genesis NFT collection, was born out of this unique cooperation. The 5.555 Fvckrender x DS & Durga NFTs, worth 0.11 ETH each, will go on sale on July 18th. An added bonus of the collection is that each 3D Manticore Musk NFT includes a special, pocket-sized bottle of perfume, which was only made available to NFT holders when the first limited-edition batch was sold out in record time.
Fragrances are formed of notes, like music, says David Molts, an untrained perfumer who created the brand's distinctive smell. Manticore Musk scents include four notes: base, middle, top and ether. This is true for both real and digital Manticore Musk products.
There is a slew of tools available to all NFT minters, including virtual and real-world venues, such as the LVCIDIA Metaverse and Fvckrender's private Discord channels.
Known for both his great collaborations with other artists and his own projects, such as the top-notch The Fvck Avatar NFT collection that debuted earlier this year, the artist has made a name for himself in the Web3 areas.
The LVCIDIA Metaverse is eagerly awaited, and these avatars offer their owners a head start. According to this theory, 3D collectibles have "inherent benefits in the ecosystem Fvckrender is constructing." For instance, some NFTs will be playable characters in the next Metaverse game, while others, like the FVCK Crystal NFT, will be pre-mint locations for the Manticore Musk NFT drop.
On July 18th, don't forget to mark your calendars and don't miss your chance to get a 3D NFT exclusive together with a fragrant physical copy.
