The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Spirit of the Glen by DS&Durga, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer David Seth Moltz, is an intricate composition that captures the essence of a rugged landscape. The fragrance opens with fresh pear and pineapple, giving way to a heart of chamomile and hay, which adds a subtle herbal warmth. At its core, oak and coal create a smoky, woody base that evokes the depth and richness of aged whiskey. This unisex scent is a proof of DS&Durga’s commitment to blending natural essences into distinctive perfumes.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly at first, as the woody base notes develop slowly. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the smoky undertones to emerge gradually throughout the day.
