The story behind the bottle.
Royal Kinam Oud by DS&Durga, launched in 2022 and crafted by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz, is a fragrance that marries the rich depth of oud with soft spicy notes. The composition opens with Sichuan pepper, adding a subtle heat to the woody base of oak and agarwood. Labdanum and styrax enrich the heart, while amber rounds out the base, creating a warm and enveloping scent. This fragrance is a proof of DS&Durga's commitment to sourcing distinctive essences from around the world.
Apply Royal Kinam Oud with two sprays to allow the base notes to develop fully. The Sichuan pepper adds an immediate warmth that fades into a rich oud base over time, making it perfect for cooler evenings or layered under a jacket.
