Key fragrance characteristics

Perfume information

Description of the composition

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.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

the scent reminds me of pickled cucumbers, neatly arranged on old, creosote-soaked railway ties. honestly, I don't see the point in wearing it. but, being curious, I decided to delve into the creators' concept, and it gave me interesting sensations. this perfume is clearly about the night. about a night in the desert, perhaps in Marfa, Texas. imagine a clear summer night in the desert. a velvety sky, strewn with stars and galaxies, nebulae, stretching from one horizon to another. everything is so close and yet so far. the feeling that you are just a grain of sand in the Universe. at night in the desert, it's cold and often damp. everything that warmed up under the scorching sun reveals new facets of smells at night. if you delve into these associations, you can find a lot of interesting things in El Cosmico. but only those strong in spirit will be able to wear it. I'm not ready for that yet

When creating this fragrance, it seems the perfumer really got carried away with aliphatic aldehydes and added too many of them. Yes, they often help create a familiar incense accord, but in El Cosmico, they are clearly overdone. This creates an imbalance and spoils the overall harmony. Behind this abundance hides some unclear smoky-woody accord that I couldn't recognize, except perhaps cedar and birch tar - and even those in a distorted form, as if under the influence of evil aldehydes. All in all, not impressed)))

The cleanliness of carrots, quartz sand, echoes of Hermes, a hint of spices with nuances of tar. Beautiful, but too volatile, dry, and not long-lasting. Memories of something past, as if it was once important, and now only a feeling of emptiness remains
4/5

First reaction, honestly, was: ugh, cumin! But then, when I sniffed closer, I realized: damn, it's a strange but pleasant smell. Usually I can't stand cumin, but here I'm drawn to inhale it. They balanced everything perfectly, well done!
