Amber Kiso

by David Seth Moltz

D.S. & Durga Amber Kiso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by David Seth Moltz. The fragrance opens with Cypress, Cedar, and Incense, settles into a heart of Iris, Maple, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Leather, Hinoki Wood, and Oakmoss.

Our verdict on Amber Kiso: Acquired

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. Amber Kiso is a divisive, unapologetically potent leather-and-incense bomb, not for the faint of heart or those who shy from making a statement. You'll either adore its dark, temple-like depths or recoil from its powerful, almost 'industrial' edge.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' projection and exceptional longevity, Amber Kiso is far too intense for office wear or casual daytime use. It shines best in evening date settings or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated without overwhelming others.

About

Amber Kiso opens with a rush of smoky incense and dry cypress and cedar, evoking ancient forests and smouldering altars. The heart unfurls with a dusty, earthy iris and a hint of sweet maple, before settling into a commanding, animalic leather base, deepened by hinoki wood and a whisper of oakmoss. It's a journey from sacred smoke to rugged, lived-in luxury.
