The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Osmanthus by DS&Durga is a composition that balances bright citrus and aromatic freshness with subtle spicy and floral notes. Perfumer David Seth Moltz captures the essence of osmanthus flowers with a blend that opens with zesty citrus and lavender before transitioning into a heart of white florals and fruity nuances. The fragrance’s enormous sillage and eternal longevity ensure it remains present throughout the day, creating an enduring presence.
Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, Osmanthus requires only one or two sprays. The bright citrus opening is strong, so it's best to let it settle before reapplying if needed. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear.
