About This Perfume
Think burnt incense, cedar smoke, resinous pine: that is DS&Durga Mississippi Medicine. It opens with frankincense, red cedar and aldehydes, moves into cascarilla, cypress root and European black pine and settles on birch tar, incense and Spanish prickly pear. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. A good pick for casual days. Released in 2011.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something woody and smoky for casual days.
- Sample first if: smoky is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike woody fragrances.
Around $112.
