D.S. & Durga St. Vetyver is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by David Seth Moltz. St. Vetyver opens with Bitter Orange, Pink Pepper, and Seaweed, settles into a heart of Clove, Bamboo, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Rum, and Breadnut. D.S. & Durga's St. Vetyver carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a trip to a sun-drenched island bar; a boozy, grassy vetiver that's got a divisive streak. Some find it a vibrant escape, others are left wanting more vetiver or better performance. Definitely one to sample first.

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:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and unique scent profile make it excellent for casual wear and dates. While some reviews mention it's suitable for the office, its boozy and relaxed vibe might be too informal for strictly professional settings.

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

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Bitter Orange
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove

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

St. Vetyver brings the Caribbean to life with a jolt of bitter orange and pink pepper, spiced up by a hint of clove. It mellows into sun-dried hay and lush vetiver, underscored by the intoxicating sweetness of rum and an unusual breadnut note. The overall effect is a woody, herbal, slightly sweet aroma with a marine breeze.
