Cowboy Grass

7.6

D.S. & Durga · 2008

Fresh · Green · Spicy

D.S. & Durga Cowboy Grass is a green, earthy and lightly smoky men's fragrance built around grass, vetiver and sagebrush. It opens fresh with bergamot, rosewood and wild thyme; in the heart, rose otto, sagebrush, basil and clary sage push that greenness in a spicy direction. Vetiver, ambergris, benzoin and grass form the base, settling into a woody, resinous warmth. Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, with summer close behind and winter well back. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office, and most voters read it as masculine. Etro Vetiver and Le Labo Vetiver 46 have a close profile.
