The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2000, Cedar by DS&Durga is a Woody fragrance for women that captures the essence of its namesake tree with deep complexity and warmth. Created by perfumers David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz, this composition opens with a bright rose note that contrasts beautifully against the woody base, giving it an unexpected freshness. The powdery and aromatic middle notes add a layer of softness, while the woody undertones provide a grounding finish.
Cedar has moderate sillage but poor longevity, so apply it liberally to pulse points. The fragrance blooms best close to skin, making it perfect for intimate settings where you want a warm, enveloping presence.
