I Don't Know What
I Don't Know What by DS & Durga is an unisex eau de parfum from 2017 in the niche price tier. It opens with ambrette seed and violet leaf, moves into iso e super and violet and dries down to skin musk and cedarwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ambrette Seed The only natural musk. Pear-like, warm and slightly boozy.
- Violet Leaf Crisp, watery green with a metallic edge. Cool rather than fresh.
Heart
- Iso E Super Velvety, transparent wood that fades in and out. Half the market runs on it.
- Violet Powdery, sweet and a bit retro. Parma Violets in flower form.
Dry-down
- Skin Musk Warm and intimate. Sits close and reads as 'your skin, amplified'.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
