HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Notorious Oud by DS&Durga is a fragrance that defies conventions with its bold and complex composition. Launched in 2019, it stands as a proof of the brand's commitment to handcrafted, artisanal perfumery. The scent opens with saffron and camphor, creating an intriguing tension between warmth and sharpness. This is followed by agarwood (oud), which anchors the composition with its rich, smoky presence, while Bulgarian rose adds a touch of floral elegance. Leather and civet add depth and earthiness to the base, resulting in a fragrance that is both luxurious and enigmatic.
Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one generous spray is sufficient. The scent blooms gradually, so it's best to apply early in the day for maximum impact. Notorious Oud reads better close to skin than from a distance, making it ideal for evening wear or intimate settings.
