Description
Brown Flowers by DS & Durga is an unconventional floral fragrance that redefines classic prettiness with a moody, sepia-toned twist. Opening fresh with acabia, dried cedrat, and Queen Anne’s lace, it quickly veers into a creamy, bittersweet heart of brown orchid, coffee flower, and sambac jasmine, evoking vintage interiors warmed by faded sunlight. The drydown of aged musk, roots, and coffee is soft, comforting, and subtly earthy, casting a chic, blousy aura that’s modern and invitingly eccentric. This distinctive scent is a nuanced, layered composition that suits those who crave florals with an edge. Created by David Seth Moltz for unisex.
