Men are in search of colognes that blend classic aromatic profiles with modern twists, and THE COLOGNES by D.S. & Durga deliver. While one is a clean, soft, versatile blend of wool, herbs, flowers, green spices, tea and musk, another has prominent notes of grass, leather and lime, and the last is warm, boozy, creamy and comforting.
Each cologne in this trio has a distinct style of its own and is described in terms of how each man who might wear it would dress. Grey Blazer is aptly named as a scent that can be worn every day most of the year in formal and relaxed settings. Rum Bay Rum is for the men who aspire to dress like their grandpa and wear the colognes he would have worn. GolfJazz is said to be "a golf fantasy by a guy who doesn't golf."
