The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2025, Rum Bay Rum by DS&Durga is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of warm spices and aromatic woods. The composition opens with bay leaf and linden blossom, creating an inviting and fresh aroma. As it evolves, sandalwood and pimento blend seamlessly into a heart of cloves and neroli, adding depth and warmth. Juniper and opoponax provide a balsamic finish that ties the fragrance together, making it both complex and comforting.
Given its moderate longevity and sillage, Rum Bay Rum is best applied to pulse points. The top notes fade within two hours but allow enough time for the warm spicy and woody accords to settle in. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than filling a large space.
