The story behind the bottle.
Silent Grove by DS&Durga is a Floral Green fragrance created by perfumer David Seth Moltz during the early 2000s, capturing the essence of nature in its purest form. The composition opens with green and yellow floral notes that read as fresh and crisp, before giving way to a heart of honeyed sweetness. This contrasts beautifully with woody undertones and an ozonic finish, creating a sense of depth and tranquility.
One or two sprays are sufficient — the green top notes are bright but fleeting. The honeyed heart and woody base will carry the scent throughout the day, making it perfect for daytime wear.
