D.S. & Durga Notorious Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Notorious Oud opens with Saffron, Galbanum, and Camphor, and dries down to a base of Papyrus, Cetalox, and Civet. D.S. & Durga's Notorious Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a musky-led wear.

Notorious Oud is a divisive beast. Some adore its sensual, clean yet intense oud and saffron, finding it undeniably addictive. Others are repulsed by what they call 'dirty public toilet' or 'plasticky cleaning solution'. It's bold, it's notorious, and it’s certainly not for everyone.

About

It kicks off with a camphoric blast, mingling with the bitter green of galbanum and a generous hit of saffron. The heart unfolds into a deep, intense oud, warmed by musky and spicy nuances. A whisper of rose adds complexity before descending into a rich, animalic base of civet, earthy papyrus, and the clean, ambery hum of cetalox.
