D.S. & Durga Crystal Pistil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020.

Composition

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.

About

Crystal Pistil opens with a sparkling burst of watery orange blossom, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. The heart unfolds into a luminous blend of jasmine and other white florals, creating a transparent, dewy petal accord. The dry down is where things get interesting, with clean musk and ambrette providing a soft, skin-like embrace, while a touch of civet adds a unique, subtly animalic warmth that prevents it from becoming overly prim.
