Since 2015, El Cosmico D.S. & Durga has never stopped surprising. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the aromatic and fern families. Behind this scent stand David Seth Moltz and Kavi Ahuja Moltz. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — the United States. El Cosmico D.S. & Durga — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
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 note pyramid of El Cosmico is shaped as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The style of D.S. & Durga is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Spicy, Wood, Fairy and Mineral. The framework further includes Green and Aromatic. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Aromatic and Fern.
As soon as the fragrance opens you detect dry woody top notes: Hot pepper, Pine and Shrubs.
At the core of development you meet Creosote and oak carrying a ephemeral powdery direction. At the foundation the composition is fixed through Sand and Wax, extending a dry mineral trail.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Floral, Wood, Spicy and Mineral without random overlap. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Overall El Cosmico sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best judged through real development.
