Roman Ruin Cypress by DS&Durga is a fragrance for women and men. Roman Ruin Cypress was launched in 2023. Roman Ruin Cypress was created by David Seth Moltz and Kavi Moltz. Top notes are Lime, Bergamot and Neroli; middle notes are Cypress, Rosemary and Citron; base notes are Amberwood, Labdanum and Lavender. A bold panache of towering old growth cypress in ancient city ruins. Pair with vintage motorboats and the good life. "While gallivanting around Rome, I came upon a square of ruins sunk deep below the city. All around giant cypress trees shot up with an impressive breath. Ruins are remnants of the old empire; so too are these giant beauties baking in the Lazio sunlight. Cypress’s aroma is a dusky, enigmatic conifer that suggests a wizened age. While I stood at these ancient trees, sharp-suited and well-dressed Romans whizzed by on Vespas, leaving clouds of strong Italian perfume in their wake." - D.S.

The Inspiration
A fragrance is more than a list of notes. It is the atmosphere, memory, and feeling that remains long after the first spray.
