DS12
DS12 set out to create scents that were "reminiscent of our childhood in Metro Detroit." The result is Detroit Smells, a collection of candles featuring 12 different scents that capture the essence of Detroit.
The smell of motor oil and gasoline while at the gas station. Driving over the Rouge River bridge in the summer with the windows down. Eating watermelon and cinnamon candy while lying in fresh cut grass.
“DS12 candles is excited to partner with the iconic brand, Detroit Is The New Black, for the holiday season. It is such a pleasure to sit alongside all these new and exciting brands and entrepreneurs collaborating all in one amazing space.” - Loren Gillis & Jeff Newsom, DS12
