The story behind the bottle.
Vetyver by DS&Durga is a Woody Aromatic fragrance crafted by David Seth Moltz, blending the earthy and green accords of vetiver with aromatic and woody notes. This composition captures the essence of a lush, verdant landscape where the soil retains its natural warmth, and the air is filled with the freshness of grass and herbs. Vetiver's grounding quality is evident from the first spritz, offering a sense of stability and connection to nature.
Apply Vetyver to pulse points for a subtle, long-lasting effect. The earthy notes are best appreciated close to the skin rather than from afar. It pairs well with cooler weather but can be worn year-round as a grounding touch.
