D.S. & Durga Plumes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Plumes opens with Water Accord, Bay Leaf, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Grapevine, Jasmine, Tuberose, and Frangipani, and dries down to a base of Amyris, Musk, and Vetiver. D.S. & Durga's Plumes carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Plumes is a divisive tropical floral that promises sunshine but often delivers a perplexing mix of notes. Some find it a beautifully blended ode to the tropics, while others are left wondering what went wrong with the execution, smelling everything from disinfectant to baby wipes.

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its distinct tropical floral character, make it more suited for casual daytime wear in warmer weather. While some find it too unusual for formal settings or the office, its softer projection means it won't overpower in certain professional environments.

About

Opening with a watery accord and bay leaf, Plumes aims for an aquatic green freshness that's swiftly joined by a creamy, tropical coconut. The heart blossoms into a rich bouquet of frangipani, jasmine, and tuberose, with a unique grapevine adding a verdant edge. It settles into a warm, musky base of amyris and vetiver, trying to balance tropical sweetness with earthy depth.
