D.S. & Durga's Big Sur After Rain scented candle is one of the brand's most popular products and the brand responded to its passionate community's demands with the all-new Big Sur Eucalyptus perfume. "People have asked for us to make it as a perfume, but I really don’t dig candle oils on the skin," said self-taught perfumer David Seth Moltz, "So I took the dominant accord, and many of the same materials and fashioned them into a foggy meditation on coastal California eucalyptus groves that sits wonderfully on the ol’ epidermis."
Big Sur Eucalyptus shares an intriguing contrast with the essence of deep, spicy green groves on the cool Coast of California. While eucalyptus globulous is a prominent top note, eucalyptus cone appears as a base note, along with cypress and dry leaves.
