The story behind the bottle.
The Orchid Drinkers, launched by DS&Durga in 2011 and crafted by David Seth Moltz, is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of nature's elegance. The composition opens with bright citrus and fresh spicy notes, creating an invigorating freshness that transitions into a heart of floral and green accords. The woody and powdery base adds depth and warmth, resulting in a scent that feels both vibrant and grounding.
Apply this fragrance in layers for maximum impact — start with a light spritz and build up as needed. The citrus opening fades quickly, so ensure you layer enough to catch the floral and woody notes that linger throughout the day.
