The story behind the bottle.
Rosa Americana by DS&Durga is a Floral Green fragrance for women, crafted by David Seth Moltz. The composition opens with an herbal and aromatic freshness that gives way to a complex rose heart, accented with fresh spicy notes and a subtle bitterness that adds depth. This scent embodies the brand's commitment to collecting essences from around the world and handcrafting them into distinctive fragrances.
Apply Rosa Americana in light layers, as the herbal top notes are fleeting but set the stage for the rich rose base. The fragrance reads best close to skin, so a few spritzes on pulse points will ensure it lasts through the day.
