D.S. & Durga's Notorious Oud divides the fragrance community with its bold, uncompromising character. This Brooklyn-born rebel opens with an intense medicinal blast of saffron and camphor that might remind you of a dentist's office - but don't let that scare you away. The heart reveals a sophisticated interplay of authentic oud and animalic leather notes, while the base settles into a complex woody-musky composition. With exceptional longevity of 12+ hours, this is a serious performer. While some praise its authentic oud interpretation and artistic vision, others find its cold, harsh character challenging. Best suited for cold weather and confident personalities, Notorious Oud lives up to its name - it's definitely not trying to please everyone, and that's exactly what makes it special.
