Details on D.S. & Durga Mississippi Medicine

Based on the rituals of the proto-Mississippian death cult of the 1200s. Native birch tar, viola, & white spruce grounded in incense & cypress root.

How does D.S. & Durga Mississippi Medicine smell?

A complex, dark and mysterious fragrance that opens with astringent, peppery cypress and frankincense, leading to a heart of pine-crackling, smoky fire. The scent evolves through layers of sweet birch tar, muddy grass, and scorched leaves, finally settling into a sweetly herbaceous, woody incense base. Strong medicinal undertones are present throughout, creating an atmospheric evocation of ancient rituals and forest ceremonies.

Smoke rituals as medicine

Fresh-spicy opening, bright due to frankincense, dry cedarwood notes as well as sweet-bitter nuances of peppery cascarilla bark. Warmth spreads. Despite the coolness of frankincense and airy aldehydes, resinous-woody spiciness dominates. Cypress gives the fragrance a certain soft note. Like thick resin syrup. Fresh-warming juniper brings green nuances. Gradually, the bright frankincense transforms into heavier, spicy birch tar smoke.
