Crystal Pistil by DS&Durga was launched in 2020, blending the brand's signature approach to handcrafted essences with an innovative mix of aquatic and musky notes. The fragrance opens with a burst of pink pepper and orange blossom, creating a fresh, vibrant top layer that gradually gives way to the lush, floral heart of jasmine and paradisone. The base notes, including synthetic civet and white musk, add an animalic warmth and a powdery depth that grounds the composition. This balance creates a scent that is both modern and lasting, capturing the essence of DS&Durga's distinctive approach to perfumery.

Application Tips
Apply Crystal Pistil lightly to the pulse points for best effect — its moderate longevity means it evolves gently over time without becoming overpowering. It's particularly suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that is both refreshing and subtly warm.
