Since 2020, Crystal Pistil D.S. & Durga has never stopped surprising. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the floral and musk families. Perfumers David Seth Moltz and Kavi Ahuja Moltz joined forces to create something truly special. By character, it falls into the mineral, musk, and whiteflower groups. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Made in the United States, backed by a long and proud tradition. Crystal Pistil D.S. & Durga — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.

A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Crystal Pistil is built as an expressive line of development, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of D.S. & Durga is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Mineral, Musk, Whiteflower and Spicy. The framework further includes Floral, Green and Animals. At family level the scent maps to Floral and Musk.
From the first breath you detect salty-airy first notes: Aquatic accord, Orange blossom and Pink pepper.
At the core of development you meet Floral Notes, Jasmine and Paradisone holding a sensual jasmine direction.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Animalistic, Aquatic, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Taken together Crystal Pistil reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
