D.S. & Durga Amber Teutonic is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by David Seth Moltz.

Divisive yet captivating, this resinous forest scent inspires strong opinions. Expect to either adore its unique green amber or find it utterly unwearable. Definitely not a blind buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a deep dive into an ancient forest, where the crisp opening of cedar and green mandarin gives way to a sticky, sweet pine sap and fir heart. Cardamom adds a warm, spicy intrigue, while a rich opoponax and musk base creates a balsamic, almost creamy, amber-like warmth that lingers with remarkable tenacity. It's a journey from vibrant greenery to earthy, resinous depth.
