The story behind the bottle.
M'Head Reds by DS&Durga is a chypre fragrance that showcases the brand's signature blend of global essences and intricate layering. Created by perfumer David Seth Moltz, it opens with a burst of citrus and anis, creating a bright and spicy contrast against its woody and mossy base notes. The earthy undertones are balanced by soft white florals, adding a delicate sweetness that tempers the overall composition. This fragrance is a proof of DS&Durga's commitment to crafting distinctive and nuanced scents.
Given its strong sillage but weak longevity, apply M'Head Reds liberally to ensure it makes an impact. The citrus top notes fade quickly, so reapply if you want the scent to last throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you can enjoy its bright opening and earthy depth.
