Double portion pour Just Amber
Amber Teutonic DS&Durga for women and men
I cannot for the life of me explain why when I look at the notes-- but this smells like cat pee to me. My partner did not get that impression, but I couldn't stomach this scent. Maybe it's me. Maybe I'm crazy, but yikes. Perhaps it smells different on a person? After my initial paper tester impression, there was no way I was putting this on my skin so I have no way of knowing.
This is a much more extreme and daring version of filz de dieu by etat libre D orange!
Decided to give it a wear yesterday just to see what it would be like to wear in the summer. Was absolutely delighted. Much sweeter than a fall or spring wear. Pine notes really stripped out by heat replaced with a warm caramel scent to go with the incense and spices. Almost bordering on gourmand territory. I recommend trying it on a warm summer night and see if it changes your opinion of it. Proving more versatile than I ever thought.
This is the one that started my deeper exploration of fragrance. Something just clicked, and it brought me a sense of excitement (spicy top) but also relaxation (base incense) that fuses into a sense of placid confidence for me.
Projection and longevity are good for a niche perfume, and it can come on hard. Really blossoms on my skin after repeated wears under warm clothing, and that's when the amber becomes intoxicating for me. Then again, I enjoy the sensation of being my own incense burner.
I've gotten many compliments on it, and it's appropriate for me as a work scent (granted, I am a librarian). One friend said I smelled like "one of those nice stores that sells really beautiful abstract ceramics." And that's what this is: an abstraction of a blob of dusty amber melting in Baba Yaga's hut.
I mean. If you want to smell exactly like incense, this is your guy!
This one feels as green as the color of the perfume which I like but its not a freshie sort of not that green vibe. Its more that forest smell together with mandarin at begin and I actually thinks on me mandarin is there also at drydown. I do not know exactly how but on me I feel most of the notes that are listed where the beginning as said gives green mandarin for me about half an hour before inbetween notes takes over and after about 2 hours the base note which then does not feel as strong (still some manadarin but most opponax and forest). This is classified by the majority as autumn, winter and spring but it should be good to use even summer evenings that are temperate and I appreciate it a lot because I like fir and pine which most people think is winter perfume but it is quite all-round and a bit special (at least for me). I will buy another of this when its empty.

You should test it first.
Piney incense lifted with notes of bitter florals and resins. I've had a slight change of heart with this one. Usually I don't like these dry cedar type of scents because it reminds me too much of stale wooden interiors, or maybe scented candles. It still makes me feel like I'm living in a cabin and waking up to sawdust in the corners, but the windows are open and reminding me of how beautiful it is outside. Pine and Fir trees rustle in the wind, and there's a sweetness that you might get from finding some sap oozing from their bark. They've done a great job imitating a labdanum-forward amber base with opoponax and musk. It's slightly powdery and soft and a little sweet. It's not as bracingly fresh and green as you might expect especially considering the color. Instead it feels like a tranquil afternoon with a hot drink in your lap, relaxing amongst the conifers.
As many of the Perfumes you get these days, none of notes described are detectable because this is most likely an entirely synthetic fragrance made mostly from synthetic aroma chemicals rather than any actual essential oil hence I don’t get even a hint of cardamom, green mandarin,real geranium or any of the other scents listed except opponax & a hint of synthetic geranium. It is woody, does have a pleasant scent for me but I get a strong vibe of aroma chemically scent rather than any real essential oil or natural scent of notes listed. Longevity- medium ,not long lasting but very few perfumes last long on my skin.
Blast of cedar and pine at the opening with a juicyness that comes from the orange. Orange doesn't add too much scent of it's own, is more of a textural note to my nose as cedar can be a dry smell. As it dries the geranium and cardamom come out, as does the resin note, softening the overall effect. Very nice in this stage but is very much still a pine scent.

On use: Can smell rather medicinal and loud up front so i'd say don't overspray it. In my opinion it benefits from some humidity in the air, and is better in fall and even spring, than in the dead of winter. If we look for it to evoke nature, in fall it brings to mind the resinous aspect. Pine cones and dry needles as the trees go dormant. Spring it plays well with the flush of new pine needles and greenery on trees and the citrus comes out more preventing it from being too dry. Winter is when it is at its most medicinal and sharp, to my nose.

On performance: Strong at first with good projection, however becomes a skin/intimate scent within the first 2 hours. Stays close to the body that way for a decent amount of time, at least 5-6 hours. Have not tried wearing on clothing. Liquid is green so im hesitant to spray it on a fabric to see if it improves projection from there. Overall I like it a lot but can be mood dependent. Don't blind buy.
Green/spicy loud opening with some backing of incense (oddly not much amber). Dry down is very spicy and woody with the amber picking up but never leaving that green scent. It reminds me a lot of expensive body washes and cleansers you find at high end hotels across Europe for some reason. It's not soapy, in the traditional sense, just has a manufactured, high end lux soap vibe. Must be the synthetics woods/musks.

Longevity was 8-10 hours with 2-3 hours noticeable at a distance. Very loud in the first hour.

A 7.25/10 for me. Nothing great, overpriced, and not something I'd ever reach for.
fig, pine, anise, oud, patchouli, myrrh, a melange of dry spices, lavender, dry bitter citrus pith, dirty weedy sage

Reminds me of Guerlain Jicky with added realistic woodsy notes, a trademark of DS&D

3-4 sprays, medium projection
Lasts several hours
Coniferous woods with something sweet in the background. Ultimately a buy for me.
This has nothing to do with ambre sultan

But this fragrance is interesting! Opens up with some freshness but i get very little pine; you will get shades of amber kisso with its industrial medicinal touches but it does deviate from amber kisso greatly. I get this ginger tea with coconut milk vibe and dries down to something that reminds me of jovoy paris psychedelique with the sweet oakmossy patchouli. It's also balsamic and then amber kisso lighty comes back in sutble form in the backround. Very nicely done. Big like from me
-Opens as a light woody scent with a faint incense-like note in the background.
-Dries down funky and medicinal, and a touch too sour for my liking. (-)
I received a small selection of DS & Durga samples, and Amber Teutonic seems to be fairly typical of the scents they offer - unusual accords, often discordant, but creatively done. AT is a woody unisex scent, and is not at all mainstream. It is made of good quality ingredients, and the woody accords bring to mind a cabin the woods - simultaneously fresh green pine notes and flatter, musty wood notes.

AT opens with a bright, green pine note, enhanced by a hint of fresh citrus. However, it is very balsamic throughout, from the bittersweet, spicy cardamom that emerges shortly after the initial opening, and the eternal opoponax in the base. I am not a lover of balsamic fragrances, and here it is too much for me, especially considering the liberal use of opoponax - a molecule I am sensitive to and quite dislike, being headache-inducing. The spicy balsamic portion of AT also quite unfortunately reminds me of cooking spicy food - not what I want to smell like. There's a dirtiness to AT that just doesn't work for me.

The wood notes, i.e. cedar, pine and conifer are beautiful - of a high quality and photorealistic. The geranium is barely perceptible, but bridges the gap nicely between the green pine and balsamic, spicy notes. The overwhelming balsamic quality thankfully softens as the scent develops, becoming more woody and musky as it dries down, with the fading spices and resins giving way to a bearable amber accord.

I agree with Trendkill97 below - the amber accord is very creatively done here, and I can appreciate the balance of opoponax and cardamom in delivering a sweet amber accord as it dries down. Unisex, even masculine-leaning, AT is best worn as a winter scent. Sillage and longevity are moderate. Some great components, but not a scent for me. 2.5/5.
The amber accord in this fragrance is very creatively done. The opoponax gradually reveals multiple facets. This is a very frost-like fragrance, to me evokes a sense of cold breeze flowing through in frigid regions. The fir, pines, the coniferous vibe with the balanced cardamom and slight freshness up top, truly makes this a complexly special amber fragrance. On par with Tom Ford's Amber Absolute to an extent which is now discontinued, but with a lot more added green elements as it dries down. Anyone looking to explore this house, I highly recommend to try this one from them. 9/10
This is a scent profile i am not that big of a fan of. All that pine and fir combined with opoponax (which is not my favorite resin) and kind of a rosey smelling geranium...to me its a mixture of contradicting notes. The end result is somewhat sweetish ambery, woodsy accord with that distinct oppoponax touch underneath which i unfortunately dont enjoy all that much.
After a couple of wears, I realized what this reminds me of: those big dusty cabins that double as education centers or tiny museums. I associate this with field trips and summer camps in the PNW. Think industrial carpet, wilderness guides written in the 90s, and beaver pelts (these aren't necessarily aspects of the scent, but evocative of the places I'm envisioning). That being said, it is a nice fragrance that I do intent to wear more than once- but probably just enough to go through the sample vial.
This is amazing, I get a lot of pine and cold-climate bush resins from this and it feels incredibly natural. You get that ambery, resinous scent that feels sometimes like a cold forest wind - cold, not fresh. I want it to last but unfortunately, it doesn't.
I like this one a lot more than Amber Kiso, as Kiso kinda smells like band-aids to me. This one is a lot more coniferous but blended with a smooth, creamy sort of essence. It's refined and dignified while also being elegant and almost seductive. Weird wording I know but it almost kinda smells fey-like or elven, which with the word Teutonic in the name I suppose sort of fits.

My only criticism is that this scent, like others from this brand, doesn't exactly have the longevity for me to justify the price. I applied this at 8:30 AM after a shower and now at quarter to 11 it's already down to a level where you have to get in close to smell it.
I got this hoping (as I often do, hah) for a conifer-forward scent. To my nose, which admittedly is weird, it is not; the fir and pine are mostly subtle and in the opening. However, it's still an absolute stunner and I'm glad I own it. It's a resinous, woody, creamy, subtly sweet, sophisticated experience; it smells expensive, y'know? My partner complimented me on it twice in one day. Also, it is one of the rare perfumes that I could still smell on myself in the morning; frags never last on me. DS & Durga has yet to make a scent I haven't enjoyed.
My favorite pine scent so far. I have been questing for the perfect pine scent that is not like bug spray... So far this it. Bravo.
Like all the perfumes of the brand, the opening is very good. Then the perfume settles on a "normal" amber compared to others. I don't hear any innovation or different practical notes.
The bottles are beautiful.
Instead of the vanilla scent that most amber fragrances have, this one leans more to the medicinal side.

Unfortunately it reminds me of a doctor's office, and once that image takes hold I smell powdery latex, bandages, and iodine.
An interesting woody aromatic scent that in spite of its name has no amber in it. The perfume has a brief opening of cedar, cardamom and orange. The heart is mainly fir with hints of geranium and another woody note (larch is what is disclosed).The perfume settles into a base of synthetic musk, opoponax resin and pine. The overall vibe an earthy herbal cool forest laden region. The slight masculine leaning scent has moderate to strong projection and very good longevity. Enjoy!
On my skin, this has a mentholated herbal note, powdery amber, and a touch of the aroma chemical that translates on me as screaming wood-alcohol. It's warm, rich and layered, but in the end it's just a bit too loud for me and ends up irritating me after awhile. It's powerful for sure.
D.S. & Durga Amber Teutonic was released in 2018 alongside Amber Kiso and, like Amber Kiso, is dominated by resins and is therefore true to its name. Unlike Amber Kiso, Amber Teutonic is not a heavy-handed smoky amber/leather mix, but rather an herbal, green, semi-spicy amber, still very satisfying, and slightly sweeter than Amber Kiso. Amber Teutonic is more for everyone, I’d say, than Amber Kiso.

The main notes I detect are, of course, the resins—definitely leaning toward the sweet rather than the smoky or animalic—as well as some spices (cardamom and geranium seem applicable) and a greenness (via the pine, I imagine). The result is a balanced, pleasant resinous fragrances that even those who usually aren’t fan of resinous fragrances might enjoy.

It’s not as bold or dense as Amber Kiso but it’s not too far off, in fairness. Even a small Luckyscent dabber proved to be a reasonable way to enjoy the fragrance on wrists and neck, so I’ll need to retry it some more. Overall, I quite like it, though I wouldn’t quite yet say that I love it. Maybe that’ll change.

The retail pricing for Amber Teutonic is the current standard D.S. & Durga pricing of $260 for 100ml, $175 for 50ml, available at not only the house website but also boutiques like Luckyscent and Twisted Lily as well as department stores like Nordstrom. I’ve not yet specifically seen Amber Teutonic available on the secondary market.

7 out of 10
Odd but charming new twist on amber, which takes a typically offbeat D S & Durga approach by deciding to make it skew green, herbal and medicinal. While much (SO much!) milder and mellower than Amber Kiso, this is still an exhilaratingly outdoorsy, fresh-airy, botanical way to treat the theme and for my taste it works just fine. It's not syrupy-sweet at all, and while vanilla is there, it's been well covered with an earthy layer of resins and leaves, taking it a world away from the usual boudoir/luxe associations of amber scents.

However, it's not nearly as cool-conifer as the mentions of pine and fir might make you think; for me, the really solid, warm foundation of opoponax gives it more of a dry comfort smell than a medicinal/cleanser ambience. (That sort of golden-sand smell which even creeps a little close to the delicious warm ambergris of Zoologist Squid, for instance, another scent where you don't expect to feel so warm or dry). Here, the scent relaxes your nose rather than perking it up as really sharp conifer resins often do. Weirdly, the other aromatic touches, on my skin, hint at immortelle and other herbs rather than cardamom and mandarin; but it really doesn't matter, as the whole effect is welcoming and wearable as well as impressive. There's a slightly odd tinge of wool lanolin, or some other bodily grease, but it doesn't get all the way to leather, and isn't strong enough to be horrible.

Distinctive, then, but not nearly as weird as many others from the house. Longevity is absolutely rock-solid on skin - still there, though discreetly, up to 9-10h, and up to 48h (!!!) on fabric - though it doesn't project very far or assertively, unlike its downlike dramatic stable-mate Amber Kiso.

Unisex, but certainly skewing more male than female... its air of rural integrity is so strong, it seems more right to say 'this is the smell of a good sturdy set of outdoor work clothes, not a trendy outfit for town'. It's more a matter of genre than gender. Somehow smells like a sensible, down-to-earth person who works with their hands, than any kind of urban art-school weirdo or glamorous man (or woman) about town. Still totally wearable by any gender and anyone who loves natural-seeming 'scent of place' fragrances rather than elaborate fantasy/luxury worlds.

Solid, strong, welcoming - it's an admirable thing even if I don't find it that extraordinary or fantastical. It's niche - so of course it's expensive - but it's not often you find an amber with this level of honesty and so little sugar. I feel pretty warm respect for it, overall.
The opening was a wow and all-I-can-greedily-inhale-while-closing-my-eyes kind of stages. It's my second time coming across opoponax in perfumes and I love it so much better here. I find the fragrance very smooth and pleasant to wear. The aromatic cardamom phase is very pronounced but mainly in the opening and throughout the initial stage of the fume while it projects. The drydown is mainly warm and balmy and slightly sweet from the incense with some spicy and woody accords. It's perfectly unisex as well. I loved that.
My initial impression, sampling from an in-store tester bottle: I like it. I pick up the cardamom and resin. Later it’s mostly wood notes (of which I can’t distinguish which kind of wood).

It’s smooth, natural and slightly powdery — nothing is presented in an overbearing way.

Decent performance on this early, mild Pacific Northwest summer day. I would love to wear this again.
Flat solid outdoorsy fragrance with cedar and musk at the forefront with a strong linalool presence as with almost all D.S. Durga fragrances as the backbone providing a soft pleasant therapeutic note like a medicinal plant would especially with the cardamom. I own almost all of D.S.& Durga fragrances, I don't wear them alot outside of my house tbh but they are among my favorite houses in perfumery. The reason I don't wear them outside alot is because I'm a bit shy and these fragrances from this house will cause people to talk to you because they've never smelled anything like this before. I was at their flagship store recently and I couldn't find anything I didn't already own, so I got car fresheners, so good btw. The word to describe David Seth Moltz and his wife in regards to the fragrance industry would be innovative. I smile everytime I smell a D.S. & Durga fragrance or just look at them sitting in my fragrance fridge. They make me happy and I don't know why, or should I say I don't know what(pun intended.)
A stunning green amber fragrance. Very mineral, with some vibes of L'Artisan L'Eau d'Ambre Extreme, and some piney (incensey) impression of Goutal Ambre Fetiche.

Really great, but try before you buy, it's not a sweet vanilla-centered like many amber fragrances are, and leans masculine imo.
I recently had a chance to try D.S. & Durga's newer Amber Kiso and Amber Teutonic fragrances, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I love them both!

Amber Teutonic opens milder and less sweet than Amber Kiso, a soft amber paired in equal strength with a lovely, cool green. Not a 'fresh' green, but a more complex and moody green, like a dark forest canopy. Fir and conifer, mossy a
