Black Magenta

by David Seth Moltz

D.S. & Durga Black Magenta is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by David Seth Moltz. Black Magenta opens with Pepper, Pineapple, and Galbanum, settles into a heart of Orris, Orange Blossom, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Ambergris, and Tobacco. D.S. & Durga's Black Magenta carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly polarising scent - people either love its unique, dirty pineapple vibe or are completely turned off by its artificial notes. It's a night out in a bottle, for those who dare to be different. Perfect for making an entrance, but definitely not a safe blind buy.

This fragrance's boldness and strong, sweet-fruity-tobacco profile doesn't suit a professional office environment. Its sensual, 'night out' character and solid performance make it ideal for dates and evening casual events, but less so for formal settings or sports.

About

Black Magenta opens with a boozy, syrupy pineapple, quickly joined by a kick of black pepper. The heart softens with powdery orris and subtle orange blossom, while a green galbanum hint keeps things interesting. It dries down to a rich, warm base of ambery tobacco and creamy sandalwood, leaving a trail of mischievous allure.
