I Don’t Know What

I Don’t Know What by DS&Durga is a highly polarizing, unisex fragrance that functions both as a stand-alone scent and a layering enhancer. It opens with a bright, fresh bergamot and woody iso e super, delivering a clean, slightly citrusy, and synthetic burst that carries a palpable intensity. The core profile centers on vetiver, sandalwood, and musky amber accords, creating a modern, transparent, and skin-scent experience. While some users report a piercing, almost medicinal dry-down with animalic civet notes, many find the fragrance softly evolve into a warm, long-lasting, and quietly seductive presence—particularly on clothing. Its unisex appeal and strong longevity make it suitable for day and night wear, with standout performance across seasons, especially in autumn and spring. However, the scent’s composition can trigger strong reactions: some dislike the synthetic aroma of iso e super and ambroxan, while others find it a standalone masterpiece, likening it to Molecule 01 or Tam Dao in effect. It’s particularly noted for adding depth and structure when layered, though it doesn’t universally enhance other scents.
