D.S. & DURGA - STEAMED RAINBOW - Eau de Parfum - Novità 2023 -

Lucky enough to say ohhh yes, I’m wearing a rainbow...

Di che profuma l’arcobaleno? Di sette colori, di gocce di cielo e vapore di sole. Di sogni e dolcezza, di buone cose a venire, di sereno e serenità. Di fantasia al galoppo e desideri a grappoli, mai doma e mai troppi.

Ho visto un arcobaleno sull'oceano da qualche parte in estate. Mi sono chiesto se avesse un suo odore. Allora ho provato ad immaginarlo, ho spremuto tutti i colori, gocce di cielo, vapore di sole e li ho sigillati in questa fragranza. Così David Seth Moltz che per questa composizione non fa mistero di aver accettato una gran bella sfida creativa, durata più anni e, fiero del risultato, gira a noi il fantamisterioso aroma, i sentori cromatici del più affascinante prisma ottico presente in natura.

D.S. & DURGA con Steamed Rainbow realizza un inaspettato esercizio di stile, tra l'onirico e il provocatorio. Sette colori, altrettante note olfattive a scandire accordi tra orizzonte infinito e terra. Fantasia scatenata ad elaborare tonalità e sfumature, rosso, arancione, giallo di freschi vivificanti agrumi (arancio, mandarino), verde di cortecce boschive increspate, umide e resinose (cedro, elemi), indaco di foglie dopo la pioggia e blu di vapori minerali in rapida ascesa (vetiver), dalle radici alle corolle di fiori candidi, infine il balsamico nobile viola che stempera un finale di lucente tenerezza, di violette appena colte tenute con delicatezza tra le mani. Effimero e sognante, se puoi dire: oggi indosso l'arcobaleno.

Creata da David Seth Moltz.

Eau de Parfum 50, 100 ml. In profumerie selezionate.

Durga that I've heard different opinions on and which I actually really enjoyed:

Cowboy Grass by DS&Durga - I don't know why cowboy but it's every herb (mainly sage) against sore throat on a pillow of pretty tame vetiver - very pleasant and comforting.

Debaser by DS&Durga - hey there, aren't you a very good juicy and fresh fig with both woody notes and slight slight coconut. Accidentally got it on my mask again and didn't regret it. My favourite Sacred Earth is sweeter.

Jazmin Yucatan by DS&Durga - pretty unusual Jasmine which smells like neither jasmine from tea nor like mock orange (that does smell like jasmine sometimes) - there's definitely a lot of freshness from the water and citruses at the top and greenery and vetiver at the bottom. The jasmine itself is a little animalistic at the start (if I'm not imagining it) and much sweeter at the bottom. Loved it.

Notorious Oud by DS&Durga - well this oud is weird and medicinal enough to be niche sounding and interesting but not unpleasant enough to be unwearable. I bet the civet that's looking at me with its big sad eyes from the bottom of the pyramid is also doing its job. Nice enough.

Radio Bombay by DS&Durga - well, that's sandal with sandal and sandal and a bit of coconut at the start. Pretty simple but pleasant.

Rose Atlantic by DS&Durga - well, exactly what you'd expect - very clean roses with citruses at the top and a lot of water and salt throughout - very refreshing and very enjoyable.

can you recommend me something that smells like liturgical incense, catholic churches or dead flowers water not with halloween/autumnal vibes but more in a warm but sad and melancholic sunday walkin through the cemetery kind of way?

Je n’ai pas du tout été raisonnable : senti à San Francisco, hors de prix, je l’ai commandé chez Nose., et me voilà, arborant ce parfum américain un peu dingue. Je ne renie pas celui de Jo Malone, mais là, on n’est pas dans la même catégorie, question puissance et originalité.

Debaser :

La référence est évidente et revendiquée (!) : la chanson des Pixies sur l’album Doolittle, que j’ai tant écouté, il y a tant d’années.

Le parfum se présente comme une réminiscence des soirées / nuits étudiantes où l’été embaume l’air et la pelouse en ville pendant un concert. Il se compose d’abord de bergamote, de tiges de poire, de figue verte. C’est très très vert. Puis viennent un lait de coco doux, et des bois qui ancrent le tout, de la mousse et des bois blonds.

J’adore. Je ne manquais pas de parfum (cf post précédent) mais je suis tombée en amour. Coup de foudre. Je l’ai senti ensuite sur sa touche enfermée dans mon porte-monnaie pendant plusieurs jours, émerveillement sans cesse renouvelé. Il était très cher aux USA, bizarrement moins en France.

C’est un parfum marquant, assez fort. Là aussi je ressens quelque chose de métallique, je ne sais pas l’expliquer, peut-être ça a à voir avec les aldéhydes. C’est juste incroyable le passage du vert brut des premières notes qui s’étirent assez longuement, puis qui gagnent en profondeur avec la figue, et le lait de coco, fruités mais pas sucrés du tout, juste envoûtants, addictifs, pour finir par s’ancrer dans quelque chose de terrien, de dense, d’intense, à la croisée de l’humide souterrain (la mousse) et du métallique, un peu familier, comme l’odeur du sang, je dirais même si cette mention pourrait faire peur. Une fragrance viscérale. Ça fait peur aussi peut-être ?? Je ne sais pas comment expliquer l’effet qu’il a sur moi, ça ressemble au fait de retrouver un truc enfoui ancestral, avec une parfaite composition suffisamment étrange pour m’attirer, et suffisamment familière pour m’évoquer un cocon ultra personnel. Un trait d’union entre passé et futur.

Je suis dithyrambique et vous allez me trouver bien volage, mais c’est ainsi, les parfums me passionnent, et les rencontres passionnantes ne se produisent pas à un rythme régulier. Il arrive que deux se succèdent, que la raison empêcherait d’acheter, mais je ne suis pas vraiment raisonnable, c’est officiel.

packed glossier you and arquiste sydney rock pool for my trip to SYDNEY sorry for being uncreative and cliche just delete my fragrantica account now

[askaniritual]

i know it’s so cliche but i loveeeeee the smell of tom ford lost cherry the artificial cherry candy smell is so everything to me. it’s like childhood desire to eat a lip balm in a smell

[deermouth]

This one's definitely aquatic, but not very marine to me at all. Closer to aquarium scent (where I wore it today!) or... well, certainly not chlorine-y like a hotel pool, but there's something about the water scent that makes me think of one. A bit of sweet greenness on dry-down, like dune grass if you squint, maybe? But I was really hoping for something that would transport me to the coast, and this isn't doing it. I'm not picking up any of the salty, stormy, or sandy notes. It's still a unique and fun scent, but not one I think I'll buy again.

Wearing perfume oil from a sample bottle, it's still on me 7 hours later, but faint. Just as well, I suppose...

This is the first I've tried from a sample 6-pack of Solstice scents, so I'm hoping I'll have better luck with some of the others.

(my life in the background raging like a hurricane) idk why but i’ve been drawn to so many fragrances that have juniper and elemi in the top notes? theoretically i should like them more bc i dooo love piney, fresh green and woody scents but it feels like having them open a fragrance is always a waiting game for creamier and more palatable mid and base notes. diptyque orpheon and the byredo susanne kaufmann collab fragrance both yanked me by the collar after first writing them off and now i can’t stop thinking about them. and i want to be more into herbal perfumes (something about them just suggests healing, home, comfort… like i can pretend to be picking yarrow and sage with arthur morgan while he sketches them in his journal) and i feel like juniper and elemi fragrances are a great gateway drug into that territory. layering with a slightly green sandalwood oil seems to be the trick!

Let's spread dreamy aromas all around.

So adorable! This new D.S. & DURGA scented candle, Dream Lychee, reminds me to enjoy last days of springtime and greet the new season with renewed energy.

A poetic garden with gentle notes of rose, lily, cyclamen intertwine with a fresh juicy lychee over a sheer lace of musk and sandalwood.
