The story behind the bottle.
In 2023, DS&Durga introduced '40 Million Year Old Amber,' a unisex fragrance crafted by David Seth Moltz. This composition marries the ancient essence of amber with fresh and warm spices, creating a complex narrative that spans time and sense. The incense and myrrh open with an earthy warmth, while pepper and mint provide a vibrant contrast. As it settles into its woody base notes, including amberwood and musk, the fragrance evolves into a smoky, balsamic depth that feels both lasting and contemporary.
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for maximum longevity. The smoky and musky base notes will bloom over time, so it’s best to let it develop naturally on your skin rather than layering heavily. It reads well in close proximity, making it perfect for intimate settings.
