D.S. & Durga
El Cosmico Fragrance
4" H x 2.75" Diameter
$310
A tribute to Marfa, Texas, and desert mysticism, El Cosmico features peppery pine, creosote bush, and oak. The dry down is sandy and solar, enriched by khella, an herb used in Middle Eastern medicine. It’s dusty, strange, and hypnotically sun-drenched.
