I do know, that I like you

I ordered the scent as a bottling and then bought it as a bottle. Sometimes you read fragrance descriptions and think yayyy. When he then arrives, it is often also times a naaaay.

Not so with this fragrance, at least for me. It's woody, warm, fresh, earthy, dark, tart yet soft, almost a bit pungent and minimally sweet.
It's special, like you have an aura around you that captivates you and it almost has something mysterious about it. You can not really explain it, just a I don't know what.

He is totally different for me than the molecules, which also love. Not so clear, but rather gloomy. I find him as a woman to wear mega exciting, because he sticks out, but he still flatters and the fragrance vlt but rather with a man is suspected. Who likes the flowery cotton candy, so here is wrong.

I wear it alone without layering it, because it just smells so incredibly good. On me, the scent lasts extremely long and unfolds really well. Especially when the body is a little heated. I have to smell it again and again, because it is somehow addictive and if that is so, he must be in the collection

Slightly interesting albeit expensive

D.S. & Durga’s 2018 release, I Don’t Know What, is described as “a fragrance enhancer with a transparent radiance that gives any perfume a certain, as the French say, ‘I Don’t Know What.’” So while it may not seem ideal to try a fragrance enhancer on skin by itself, I nonetheless want to experience it that way and evaluate it on its own merits.

It’s a citrus/woody mix with a good amount of ISO E super and ambroxan, sharp and musky, understandably involving some of the chemicals that are known to boost performance. On its own, though, it is perfectly pleasant as it contains a fairly agreeable mix of notes, in this respect—after all, ISO E super and ambroxan do tend to blend in fairly well. It has a vague kick to it, perhaps a spiciness, that prevents it from being wholly fresh, and so it has a wee bit of character.

However, I do not feel that it is a fragrance that I would reach for on its own, which makes it all the more puzzling mimics most of the line, at $260 for 100ml EDP, $175 for 50ml EDP, and $72 for 10ml pocket perfume oil, and is sold through the house website, Luckyscent, Saks Fifth Avenue, among others, though it is much more affordable at FragranceNet, where it is $162/109 for 100/50ml.

It’s somewhat interesting, though.
