The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by DS&Durga, Rose Atlantic is a floral aquatic fragrance crafted by perfumer David Seth Moltz. It opens with a vibrant burst of citrus and rose petals before transitioning into a salty marine accord that evokes the fresh tang of sea water. The heart of lime blossom and grass adds a green freshness, while musk and oakmoss provide depth and warmth in the base notes.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points; the citrus opening is bright but fades quickly into the marine heart. The rose and musk base notes emerge slowly over time, making this fragrance ideal for an evening out where you want a subtle yet lingering scent.
