Spicy Durga classic
Since I signed up here and started working with D.S. & Durga, I've been reading that the label's old creations are better because they are more natural in terms of ingredients. I myself drew the comparison between an old Bowmakers bottling and a new bottle. Oh miracle, the latter didn't have the sweet and dark resin note, but looked more like it was in the making, still a bit nasty. In retrospect, I have to say that half a year of maturing in the bottle meant that both fragrances are now identical. So much for that. Still, I have to admit that only a new creation by the label appeals to me and it's a pity that many old fragrances are no longer produced. But that's the way it is. In this respect, you simply want to enjoy Sir of 2011.
The patchouli in the base is noticeable from the beginning. But: it doesn't smell like well-known patchouli, but rather earthy and sweet, but at the same time spicy, which raises the sweetness to another level. On closer inspection, it is the Hesperides that have a contrary effect and thus almost drive each other. The grapefruit appears tangy, but thanks to the juicy tangerine it cannot play out its bitter note. This in turn has a denser, not watery-sweet but full-bodied effect. The result is a fantastically spicy scent that is known from Colognes of past decades. No wonder, oakmoss acts in the background and steers sir towards aftershave vibes.
The transition towards benzoin is then fluid, with the balsamic-chocolatey melange rapidly acting in the foreground. It is not dominating but leaves the main role to the jasmine. This refines the benzoin with its spicy honey note, which stands out next to the floral scent Gradually it becomes simply spicy and the gourmand notes spread out, becoming weaker as a whole but now underpinning the spicy element.
In a word, too bad. It's a pity that fragrances of such class are not produced so often anymore and that Sir has just been hired. Of course, it has to be said that his fragrance is not an innovation in the end, but the way and the composition is. It is a pity, however, that the H/S, which is very short and in this mixture became a discontinued model. For me, Sir goes in the direction of Hylnds - Isle Ryder.
