D.S. & Durga x Opening Ceremony: Vanilla
EDPUnisex
The Story
This collaboration with Opening Ceremony reimagines vanilla in a way that's anything but ordinary. It opens with a burst of pink pepper and bergamot, then settles into a creamy, almost smoky vanilla heart with a touch of clove. The base is warm and woody, with sandalwood and musk giving it a soft, lasting finish. It's a vanilla for people who think they don't like vanilla.
