Scent Profile

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

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

About

Boston Ivy lists ivy, sea water, clover and oakmoss. The ivy and clover bring a leafy, green and slightly damp quality, like walking past an old brick wall covered in plants. Sea water adds a cool, salty freshness, and oakmoss provides an earthy, mossy depth at the bottom. There is nothing sweet or showy here, so it reads as natural, crisp and a little rugged. This Eau de Parfum from D.S. & Durga is listed as masculine, and it is a good pick for anyone who likes green, outdoorsy scents with character.
