D.S. & Durga Cognac Reign is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by David Seth Moltz. Cognac Reign opens with Woody, Bergamot, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Cognac and Orris, and dries down to a base of Oak and Tonka Bean. D.S. & Durga's Cognac Reign carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive marvel. Some reckon it's a sophisticated boozy-woody dream, all antique grandeur and smooth cognac. Others? They're getting full-on ashtray and stale cigarettes. You'll either love its regal depth or be utterly repulsed by its smoky facets. Brace yourself for a strong opinion.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and rich, boozy-woody profile, this is best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its luxurious character can shine. It's far too bold and commanding for casual wear or the office, risking overwhelming those around you.

About

Opening with a crisp bergamot that quickly cedes to a rich, caramelised woody warmth, this scent plunges into a heart of luxurious orris and deeply aromatic cognac. As it settles, robust oak and vanilla-tinged tonka bean emerge, creating a powdery, subtly sweet, and earthy dry-down. It's an opulent, textured blend where boozy warmth meets refined woody powder.
