D.S. & Durga Debaser

Debaser opens with a natural, green fig leaf and stem. It is lightly sweet, but mostly green. It is just a bit sweeter and rounder than Philosykos, which is even greener, but I think if you like Philosykos, you will enjoy this opening.

It settles into barely ripe fig fruit with a touch of coconut cream - not a sweet coconut, but rather the layer of cream at the top of the can. It's a little musky and salty as well. I can finally smell the tartness from the bergamot. Though iris is listed in the notes, I don't personally get iris in this. The fig and greenness last a long time, which I love.

The warm woods emerge in the dry down and mix with the fresh fig and musk, creating a lightly sweet and cozy scent on the skin.

Projection is moderate to strong for about 3-4 hours, though it is never overbearing, and the dry down remains on the skin for upwards of 14 hours!

Debaser is fresh, crisp, cozy and perfect for spring and summer days. A very nice one if you enjoy green notes and fig perfumes. It is unisex and an easy wear, with excellent performance and longevity. I'd rate this a 10/10.
