The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Sir by DS&Durga is a chypre fragrance that marries the freshness of green and spicy accords with the warmth of amber and woody notes. Created by perfumer David Seth Moltz, this composition opens with a vibrant green freshness that transitions into a heart of patchouli and white florals, before settling into a balsamic and warm spicy base. The result is a scent that feels both grounded and uplifting, capturing the essence of DS&Durga's distinctive approach to blending global essences.
Sir lingers close to skin rather than projecting widely, so apply it generously in areas like wrists and neck for maximum impact. The patchouli base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so wear it during the day when you have time for it to develop.
