Big Sur Eucalyptus

by David Seth Moltz

D.S. & Durga Big Sur Eucalyptus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by David Seth Moltz. Big Sur Eucalyptus settles into a heart of Cardamom, Woody, Hay, and Eucalyptus. D.S. & Durga's Big Sur Eucalyptus carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent. For some, it's a nostalgic trip to the Californian coast. For others, it's a blast of medicinal camphor that gets right up your nose. Definitely not a blind buy, mind, but brilliant if it clicks with you.

The strong, camphorous opening and notable projection make this a bit too intense for a formal office setting. However, its fresh, invigorating nature makes it excellent for casual wear or even light sport, especially given the common association with a 'clean' barbershop feel. It could work for some adventurous dates but it's not universally appealing.

About

Imagine the bracing, cooling blast of eucalyptus leaves after a damp coastal fog. This perfume opens with an unmistakably camphoraceous freshness, quickly joined by an aromatic blend of rosemary and cypress, evoking a hike through a woody landscape by the sea. A hint of cardamom adds a subtle spice, while underlying marine notes bring a briny, oceanic touch.
