Description
DS & Durga Italian Citrus is a vibrant ode to classic Italian colognes, immersing you in a crisp medley of coastal citrus fruits, tempered by musks and gentle green notes. Its opening is an invigorating splash of cold-pressed lemon, chinotto, blood orange, and bergamot, evoking the sun-drenched Amalfi coast. A powdery-soft violet and resinous incense form the heart, lending depth while retaining dazzling freshness throughout. The base settles into clean musk and oakmoss, offering subtle greenery and persistent citrus.
