Coriander

Coriander is perhaps one of the most inscrutable and left-field aromas in the D.S. & Durga canon. It is sparklingly green, but also a dry peppery herbal, and at the same time a delicate aquatic floral musk. Coriander defies easy classification. But where is the fun is labeling anyway?

It might be the subtle, unexpected salinity that makes this scent such an enigma, that sea breeze drifting through the formula, deftly weaving pepper, juniper, geranium, magnolia, musk and mace around the heart of Ukrainian coriander. As it unfolds on the skin it evokes a warm summer breeze off the Black Sea, rolling up the hills above Odessa. It's a light, fresh, energetic green.
