The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

White Peacock Lily by DS&Durga was launched in 2016 and is the creation of perfumer David Seth Moltz. The fragrance opens with bright grapefruit and cabreuva, leading into a heart of nerium oleander and white lily, which are complemented by Egyptian jasmine and violet. A base of watery notes, ambrette (musk mallow), and vanilla rounds out the composition, creating an aquatic yet sweet floral experience that is both fresh and musky.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best close to skin rather than in the air. Apply it directly on pulse points for a more intimate experience, as the watery top notes dissipate quickly while the musky base lasts throughout the day.
