D.S. & Durga Coriander is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008, created by David Seth Moltz. Coriander opens with Lime, Pepper, Coriander, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Clove, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Mace, Musk, and Magnolia. D.S. & Durga's Coriander carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a unique, invigorating green-spicy dream, while others are left cold by its fleeting nature or a soapiness that overpowers its namesake. Definitely a try-before-you-buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for casual wear and the office, where it won't overpower. The lack of strong projection and divisive scent profile makes it less suitable for formal events or a romantic date where a bolder statement is often preferred.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Woody amber musk Tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes from Iso E Super

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

Coriander bursts open with a vibrant, zesty flash of lime and juniper, quickly mingling with a kick of pepper and herbal rosemary. As it settles, lavender and clary sage emerge, softened by a delicate magnolia and a hint of spicy clove, creating a crisp yet warm aromatic core. The drydown melts into a clean, musky skin scent, underpinned by a subtle, almost woody earthiness from mace.
