Durga

What does floral nirvana feel like? We're not talking about an overdose of girly, cookie cutter fruity-florals, or a powder-drenched grandma scent, but rather, in D.S. & Durga's own words, "palatial doses of the finest floral absolutes," a no-costs-spared approach to creating the ultimate limited-edition fragrance. So what does it feel like? Rapturous.

Durga opens with eye-widening, mouthwatering freshness, the bite of green tuberose with the smooth refreshness of melon. The heart, however, is where the uncompromising abundance of luxurious florals elevates Durga above most any we've smelled: soft, lovely chrysanthemum, velvety sweet ylang, narcotic white florals and an unfathomably rich dose of orris deliver a stunning bouquet that has to be experienced. We've encountered many florals varieties over the years; Durga belongs on a short and rarified list.
