D.S. & Durga Spirit of the Glen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by David Seth Moltz. Spirit of the Glen opens with Grass, Pear, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Oak, Hay, and Chamomile, and dries down to a base of Coal, Whisky, Woody Notes, and Malt. D.S. & Durga's Spirit of the Glen carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Spirit of the Glen is a divisive, art-house take on boozy scents. Some find it a sophisticated, smooth whisky dream, others get medicinal petroleum and bog slime. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're after something truly unique, it might just be your dram.

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.

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with the strong boozy and woody notes, make it a bit much for the office. It shines on a date or for casual wear, offering a unique, intriguing aura, but it's too unconventional for most formal settings and entirely unsuitable for sport.

About

Opens with an unexpected, almost medicinal sweetness, hinting at pear and pineapple, quickly giving way to a rich, herbaceous heart of oak, hay, and chamomile. The drydown is where the real magic happens, with a complex blend of smoky coal, smooth whisky, and malty woods. It evokes a journey from a dewy Scottish field to a warm, oak-lined distillery, with a surprising underlying sweetness that keeps it from being too rugged.
