The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2020 by DS&Durga and crafted by perfumer David Seth Moltz, Rockaway Beach captures the essence of a day at the seaside. The fragrance opens with marine and salty notes that evoke the briny air of the beach, complemented by the subtle warmth of suntan lotion. As it develops, privet and laurels add an aromatic freshness to the composition, while musky and powdery undertones ground the scent with a skin-like quality. This unisex EDP is a proof of the brand’s commitment to blending natural essences into distinctive fragrances.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for a lasting impression. The marine notes are most noticeable in the first hour but gradually give way to the musky base that lingers on skin throughout the day.
