The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

The Carlyle by DS&Durga is a composition that weaves together the bright freshness of citrus and green notes with the warmth of powdery woods and sweet florals. Launched in 2023, it captures the essence of an urban oasis where lime and bergamot meet the earthy richness of sandalwood and moss. The blend is both crisp and inviting, creating a scent that feels like a private retreat within the city's hustle.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for best effect — the citrus and green top notes are bright but short-lived. The powdery woods and mossy base will carry through the day, so it’s ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet engaging presence.
