Roman Ruin Cypress by DS&Durga is a fragrance that captures the essence of ancient ruins under the Mediterranean sun. Created in 2023 by perfumers David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz, this composition opens with bright citrus notes like lime and bergamot, evoking the freshness of a sunny day. The heart of cypress and rosemary adds an aromatic warmth, while the base of amberwood and labdanum brings a rich, earthy depth that feels both lasting and grounded.
