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

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
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.

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
