D.S. & Durga Isle Ryder is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by David Seth Moltz. Isle Ryder opens with Floral Notes, Fir, and Poplar (Populus) Buds, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Spruce, and Dyer's-Broom, and dries down to a base of Bulrush and Honey. D.S. & Durga's Isle Ryder carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Divisive and distinctive, Isle Ryder isn't for everyone, but for those who get it, it's a truly unique, evocative journey through wild landscapes. It’s got that D.S. & Durga 'weird but wonderful' charm down to a tee.

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

Isle Ryder opens with a bracing, almost medicinal burst of fir and green foliage, like stepping into a damp, ancient forest. Soon, a surprisingly indolic yet ethereal jasmine emerges, entwined with the sharp, woody notes of spruce and broom, creating a complex floral-herbal heart. As it settles, a rich, natural honey sweetness comes through, grounded by the earthy, aquatic hint of bulrush, evoking a rustic, slightly boozy mead accord. It's a scent of wild nature, simultaneously fresh, green, and subtly sweet.
