Key Notes of Mississippi Medicine
What Does Mississippi Medicine Smell Like
Mississippi Medicine by D.S. & Durga opens with a strong, smoky scent underpinned by a timber-like quality. You can distinctly make out the pungent aroma of frankincense, intertwining with the deep, rustic smell of red cedar. This is subtly underscored by the faintest hint of aldehydes, which adds a crisp edge to the warm tapestry of scents.
As the perfume develops on the skin, the fragrance evolves to reveal the earthy essence of cascarilla. This is complemented by the scent of European black pine, its resinous, woody aroma lending a sense of depth and complexity to the overall profile.
In the concluding stages of Mississippi Medicine's journey, the fragrance settles down into a foundation of heavy, smoky incense material. This is paired expertly with the tart, almost sweet, scent of Spanish prickly pear. The finish is the unmistakable fragrance of birch tar, its smoky, leather-like scent lingers, grounding the perfume with an aromatic, earthy finish. The end result is a perfume that encapsulates the rugged, raw beauty of the outdoors, a testament to its namesake's wild charm and mystique.
Review of Mississippi Medicine
The Mississippi Medicine by D.S. & Durga is a distinct perfume, particularly suited to a male audience with its bold, smoky aura. Launched in 2011, this fragrance has a strong personality, making it a definite conversation starter.
Its primary scent profile leans towards a smoky and woody blend which is immediately evident upon application. The frankincense top note is the star player and sets the stage for the rest of the fragrant journey. The perfume's spicy undertones are quite subtle, while the resinous characteristics add a unique touch that's hard to ignore. A hint of earthiness is present, which adds an intriguing depth to the overall scent.
While the perfume is suitable for all seasons, it shines in the fall and winter. The rich, intense aroma feels like a warm blanket on a chilly evening. For occasions, it’s a perfect accompaniment to leisure activities and laid-back evenings. Its strong personality makes it less suited for daily use or business settings.
As for longevity, it does not disappoint. It lasts a decent amount of time, although it may not carry you through an entire day or night. The sillage, on the other hand, is moderate, which means you won't be making a grand entrance with this scent, but it will definitely keep you noticeable.
The value is reasonable, considering the quality of the fragrance. However, it may not appeal to those looking for an affordable everyday scent.
In conclusion, Mississippi Medicine is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a bold, robust perfume, ideal for men who appreciate a smoky, woody fragrance with a hint of spice. The unique resinous notes add a touch of mystery, making this a fascinating option.
