On Störtebeker's trail
D.S. & Durga are one of my favorite perfume labels. This is usually due to the stories a fragrance from this house tells and the sometimes unusual ingredients. So I really appreciate this descriptive package insert of the bottles and also find the variety of ideas brought to perfume very charming, although not everything suits me.
So today, Hylnds - Isle Ryder, for me a very linear fragrance driven by unusual notes. At first I thought of Zibet but no, there is no Zibet here, only nature. Maybe the idea is that behind the island predator is a kind of insular panopticon of the flowers and trees that grow there, but then it probably won't be a South Sea island, but it's still a warm scent.
For me, the real meadowsweet dominates. The name implies a certain sweetness, in fact you can describe the smell of meadowsweet as a kind of honey scent, which you perceive very vividly at the beginning. This is now mixed with the poplar bud, which is resinous and viscous as well as slightly balsamic. This exudes inviting warmth without being too much, the ridge is narrow
I can't say that much will change in this basic orientation, rather the other notes underline the melange. The broom supports the warmth, adds a herbaceous note to sharpen the character, jasmine provides the already existing sweetness, the spruce joins the poplar. Thus the construction of Isle Ryder remains the same, but Durga manages to construct a second layer, manages to show variations so that the sweet element is successively reduced and a certain saturation of the resins is perceived olfactorically.
I miss some of the base notes, but I think that mead, spicy mead, is simply the right choice and starts where the mead stops. That would at least explain the noticeable change in the course of time.
The combination of dried woodruff and rush, both of which smell of straw in the broadest sense, will later be responsible for the dry, gnarled element that accompanies Isle Ryder after three hours. Not to be confused with henbane in mead.
I like the course of Isle Ryder very much because the initial honey note is softened and at the same time the hay scent is not too pronounced. Both in moderation are finely balanced and it is a pity that Durga has adjusted the scent well.
Oh, and where could the island robber actually live? Actually, a lot could point to North America or Europe, in the end it might be the German islands because the common spruce is only found in Central Europe. Now the title is getting round as well.
