D.S. & Durga Big Sur Eucalyptus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by David Seth Moltz. Big Sur Eucalyptus opens with Sea Water, Woody Notes, and Eucalyptus, settles into a heart of Magnolia, Cardamom, Hay, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Cypress. 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.

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.

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.
