Legendary Black Opium Yves Saint Laurent: history and review
Black Opium is more than just a perfume. It's a phenomenon. A fragrance that appeared in 2014 and in...
Leatherize D.S. & Durga arrived in 2022 — and it was immediately clear this one was here to stay. This is a unisex fragrance rooted in the leather family. The duo Kavi Ahuja Moltz and David Seth Moltz brought this fragrance to life. The fragrance belongs to the spicy, leather, and animals groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of wood and balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. The fragrance is presented as eau de parfum.
Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Apply 1-2 sprays whether on skin or fabric — it works equally well either way. It settles in and stays — the longevity is genuinely high. Made in the United States. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
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 Leatherize unfolds as a living composition, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of D.S. & Durga comes through from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports the depth and body this composition needs.
In the top tier you detect spicy sparkling first notes: Cubeb pepper, Labdanum and Leather accord.
In the central layer you sense Iris, Nagarmotha and Saffron keeping a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Animalistic, Balsamic, Wood and Powdery forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Leather and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High indicates a stable lasting impression.
At olfactory-group level the composition is built around Animals, Balsamic, Leather and Spicy. The palette also extends to Wood and Floral.
Overall Leatherize reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
