The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2015, El Cosmico by DS&Durga is a Woody fragrance created by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz. This composition opens with the fresh spiciness of pine and pepper, leading into an earthy heart of creosote bush and khella. The base notes of oak and sand add a smoky, coniferous warmth that feels both grounding and transporting. El Cosmico captures the essence of natural elements in a way that resonates deeply with its creators' passion for collecting essences from around the world.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The spicy top notes will fade within an hour, but the woody base will linger close to skin, making it perfect for daytime wear.
