D.S. & Durga x Opening Ceremony: Rose
EDPUnisex
The Story
This collaboration with Opening Ceremony reimagines rose in a way that feels both classic and unexpected. It opens with a burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a heart of Turkish rose and violet. The base is warm and woody with cedar and ambrette seed, giving it a modern, slightly musky finish. It's a rose for people who think they don't like rose.
