Durga

Durga presents a soft, melon-centered floral with a creamy, green, and slightly ozonic character. It opens with a vibrant melon note that is juicy and fresh, balanced by chrysanthemum and tuberose; this harmony evolves into a warmer, musky, and softly indolic base with white florals like ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and jasmine sambac. The scent rides on a subtle green herbal nuance from chrysanthemum and orris, giving it a low-key elegance. The overall effect is a restrained, layered floral that feels modern, unisex-leaning, and both wearable and memorable—yet not overtly dramatic. The fragrance stands out for its unique melon emphasis, which some find central and others perceive as a shift toward ozone or clean, medicinal-sweet tones. It projects moderately to strongly, with good longevity, and evolves noticeably over time. Though many describe it as a gentler, creamier alternative to Carnal Flower, it lacks the sharp green or eucalyptus edge of that scent—instead leaning into buttery, musky, and soft floral textures. The melon acts as a consistent thread, shaping the progression over hours, and transforms from a bright, white floral melon opening into a softer, milky, and slightly musky finale. Many users report a shift from dislike to love, particularly after the initial opening has settled.
