D.S. & Durga Black Magenta Reviews
Fragrantica - "Black Magenta effortlessly cool. It’s not trying too hard too hard to be loud or over bearing. It just smells good because it does.It smells like a put together party girl with powdery make-up, flirty fruity pineapple and dark amber. You have to lean in close to get get another taste. Black Magenta is the coolest girl in the club & if you smell her at her day job you know she was out all night having fun."
Fragrantica - "This might sound completely unhinged, but to me, it's giving a dark glam, yet campy vibe in the best possible way: a mashup of fruity drugstore body splash and a mid-tier cologne sample from a magazine, smeared lipstick, old school Suave non-aerosol hair spray, 3-star hotel lobby...and somehow it comes together and wears beautifully (on me, at least!)."
Fragrantica - "I get a smoky pineapple note at the top that transitions down into a peppery amber. It's not listed as a note, but I get a dark smoky plum. I get about 5-6 hours longevity with moderate projection. I think you could wear this in any season. It's not a heavy or deep fragrance, so i sprayed it generously. IMO it's unisex and leans VERY slightly masculine. I don't think this is a safe blind buy, so definitely order a tester, especially if you aren't familiar with the DS&D brand."
