The year 2008 gave us Orris Root D.S. & Durga. This is a masculine fragrance rooted in the floral family. The fragrance was crafted by perfumers Kavi Ahuja Moltz and David Seth Moltz. Concentration — eau de cologne: exactly what it needs to be.
Made in the United States. Orris Root 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 fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Orris Root unfolds as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The creative approach 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 Cologne keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Floral and Whiteflower. At family level the fragrance belongs to Floral.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a multi-layered petal mood: Iris. In this format 1 note sounds as one integrated frame, building the effect of a living bouquet that feels seamless.
The heart and base are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Powdery forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which clarifies the composition character.
Overall Orris Root holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.
