The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Isle Ryder by DS&Durga was launched in 2013 and is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men. Created by perfumer David Seth Moltz, this composition balances the earthy tones of fir and spruce with the freshness of wildflowers and poplar buds. The heart notes of jasmine and dyer’s greenweed add an unexpected floral sweetness, while honey and bulrush bring a subtle warmth that grounds the scent in natural richness.

How to wear it

Isle Ryder is best applied in light to moderate amounts. The fresh top notes dissipate quickly, giving way to a more complex base that develops over time. It pairs well with casual wear during the day but can also transition into evening without feeling too heavy.
