D.S. & DURGA Radio Bombay, Sample
D.S. & DURGA Radio Bombay is an Amber Woody fragrance for both women and men, capturing the essence of a nostalgic dream. Picture an old wooden transistor radio in the bustling city of Bombay, exuding melodies into the sweltering air. The fragrance opens with the dry, resinous scent of woody notes and cedar, evoking the rich aroma of sun-drenched wood. As the scent progresses, the heart reveals the silky, creamy texture of sandalwood intertwined with the sweet, juicy nuance of ripe peach, lending a touch of softness. Iris adds a powdery elegance, while boronia introduces a floral, honeyed depth that enriches the composition.
In the base, the warmth of coconut wraps around the senses, contributing a smooth, tropical sweetness. Ambergris lends a salty, animalic edge, while the balsam fir adds a green, resinous quality that is both grounding and uplifting. The ambrette, or musk mallow, bestows a subtle musky undertone, complementing the overall structure with a velvety smoothness. Musk, the final whisper, settles into a comforting, enveloping aura. Radio Bombay paints a vivid olfactory landscape, where each note dances in harmony, creating a fantastically creative and evocative scent experience.
