The story behind the bottle.
Cognac Reign by DS&Durga was launched in 2025 and is the latest creation from perfumer David Seth Moltz, known for his handcrafted approach to perfumery. This unisex EDP opens with a bright bergamot note that gives way to a rich cognac heart, underscored by tonka bean and oak. The base of woody, earthy, and powdery accords creates a warm, spicy embrace, making it an ideal scent for those who appreciate the depth of aged spirits and the comfort of familiar scents.
Apply Cognac Reign in moderation — two sprays are sufficient to allow its rich cognac and woody notes to develop fully on your skin. It’s best enjoyed close to the skin rather than diffused through a room, where it can feel too heavy.
