D.S. & Durga Bistro Waters is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by David Seth Moltz. Bistro Waters opens with Linden Tree, Coriander, and Pear, settles into a heart of Green Pepper and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Nutmeg, and Basil. D.S. & Durga's Bistro Waters carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Bistro Waters is an acquired taste, darling. It's a challenging, green-led fragrance that oscillates between genuinely unique and somewhat perplexing. Some will adore its peppery, herbal quirkiness, while others will find it falls flat, lacking staying power or, for the unlucky few, smelling like old makeup.

Its fresh, green, and often subtle nature makes it decent for casual wear, office settings (if applied lightly), or even sport. However, its divisive nature and poor longevity for many make it less suitable for dates or formal events where impact and staying power are crucial.

About

Imagine a cool, crisp pear mingles with the sharp, almost medicinal scent of coriander and the subtle sweetness of linden. This fresh opening soon deepens into a vivacious heart of green pepper and zesty mandarin, offering a truly distinctive vegetal snap. The dry down is an earthy embrace of basil and oakmoss, with a whisper of warm nutmeg, settling into a rustic, green aromatic. It's like stepping into a gourmet kitchen garden, but not everyone will appreciate the avant-garde menu.
