D.S. & Durga Mississippi Medicine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by David Seth Moltz. Mississippi Medicine opens with Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Cypress, Pine, Violet, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Birch and Incense. D.S. & Durga's Mississippi Medicine carries a Statement verdict, a textural-led wear.

This one's a wild ride. Expect a challenging, deeply atmospheric scent that conjures images of ancient woods and forgotten rituals. It's an artistic statement rather than a people-pleaser, so don't expect universal love, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique, witchy charm.

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

Imagine stepping into a primeval forest, where the air is thick with the scent of birch tar, smoky incense, and fresh pine needles. Aldehydes cut through, adding a medicinal sharpness, like an old remedy brewing over a smouldering fire. Rich cypress and juniper berries add an aromatic, resinous depth, grounding the fragrance in a mysterious, earthy embrace, with a fleeting hint of violet adding a touch of unexpected, delicate sweetness.
