Young Dunes is a woody floral musk fragrance that launched in 2023 and was created by David Seth Moltz. Todd Snyder, an American fashion designer, partnered with D.S. & Durga to create Young Dunes. It is their first exclusive fragrance and it was inspired by that invigorating feeling you get in the morning when you climb over a sand dune and smell the ocean for the first time. It is the scent of fledgling dunes in the spring of life. Refreshing beachhead airs over bold beach plants with a dry seedy finish. Young Dunes features top notes of wooly beach heather, verbena and citrus; middle notes of sage, sea lavender and yellow iris; and base notes of dune grass, musk and suede, It is an eau de parfum, edp.
D.S. & DURGA X TODD SNYDER YOUNG DUNES REVIEWS
Fragrantica: Got two small sample testers back in February and have been obsessed with it ever since- so glad to finally have the full bottle in my collection. The citrus, grassy and suede combination really strikes me, and is perfect for a hot summer day. Favorite fragrance yet.
Fragrantica: Interesting and unique light aquatic aromatic scent which is a collaboration between the perfumer and a fashion brand. The scent opens with notes of citrus, verbena and beach heather. The heart has some orris, sage and lavender. The perfume dries off to a mostly clean synthetic musk with additional notes of slight suede and grass. The perfume is very evocative of a day spent in the sand on a secluded tropical beach. The unisex scent has moderate sillage and longevity. Enjoy!
Todd Snyder: Let me tell you something, I purchase a lot of fragrances. Mostly niche, but also department store fragrances at times. This one has become one of my favorites already. It’s different, and in all the ways I love a fragrance to be. It’s masculine, but a woman could probably wear (idk), and it’s not like anything else that I’ve owned. Go get this one!
Todd Snyder: Took a shot on this one, it’s fantastic. When I first put in on I thought it was just ok and thought this would be a one and done purchase for me. After it dried on my skin and as the day went on I was getting compliments for people in my building where I work. Highly recommend
