D.S. & Durga Notorious Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by David Seth Moltz. 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 musk-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.

Scent Profile

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent performance and highly animalic, spicy oud make it completely unsuitable for the office or sport. The luxurious and sensual depth, however, is perfect for a statement on a date or a distinctive formal evening.

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

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

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.
