The Best Cologne You've Never Heard of !!

Does it really require a team of scientists to come up with something as simple as a nice scent? Apparently not. The difference between the major perfume designers and D.S. & Durga is that the latter is made by, well, just those two — and from the packaging to, of course, the smell, they prove that four hands are capable of a whole lot. Produced in small batches of hand-numbered bottles, the newish brand brings fragrance back to its origins, combining flowers, herbs, spices, oils, and plant extracts in a method that dates back to the pre-industrial cottage industries of North America. Boston Ivy, uses green moss, clover, and ivy, producing a smell that's reminiscent of the Boston Harbor. Another, called Burning Barbershop (spearmint, lime, vanilla, and lavender), replicates the smell of a half-full charred bottle of shaving tonic that was found after a fire broke out at the Curling Bros. barbershop in Westlake, New York in 1891. Now, that's specificity in action. It's also pretty awesome (the fragrance, not the fire). Ladies have their choice, too: The artwork for Siberian Snow alone makes it an appealing purchase. Even their website itself is a piece of art !! CLICK HERE
