The story behind the bottle.
Staghorn Sumac by DS&Durga was launched in 2011 and is a Floral Green fragrance for both women and men. Created by David Seth Moltz, Kavi Moltz, and Rayda Vega, this composition opens with the fresh green aroma of grass, leading to a heart of lily and settling into sumac and musk. The fragrance is an embodiment of the natural essences that DS&Durga collects from around the world, hand-crafted into perfumes that evoke specific moments in nature.
Apply this fragrance in light layers to capture its green freshness. The lily note in the heart can be quite delicate, so it's best to apply it when the weather is mild rather than hot or cold. Let it settle for about an hour before heading out, as the sumac and musk base notes take time to fully bloom.
