Đụrian D. Grayi 2025

This is such a lovely scent. I worried it would be awful, as I'd heard that durian can smell like rotting meat, but that is so not what you get here. The opening is so odd -- kind of like the smell of someone lighting a match. However, that note only lasts for mere seconds. Then, it becomes gorgeous. The skin-level sniff is fruity -- like jackfruit and peach. However, the aura that you get at arm's length reminds me of the powdery notes Gypsy Water, only sexier, muskier, and less ephemeral, with a hint of fruit and a slight milkiness at wrist sniff level. I feel like it's one I should be wearing more than I do.

this does smell like a durian BUT it is not terrible. the moment you spray it you get HIT with the STRONG SMELL of durian, it's sort of smells like gasoline, skunk, and sewage, but it quickly settles down into a more wearable, almost lactonic scent. it's surprisingly pleasant despite the undercurrent of durian, and i'd imagine that if i grew up eating durian, this would be wonderful, wearable version of the delicious fruit. it's creamy and light and i'd say it's also perfectly unisex, and it certainly has the most interesting start to any perfume i've ever worn. with all this being said, yes, it does smell a little bit like a durian for around 30 to 40 minutes, so expect that.
