Identifiable as a D.S Durga perfume. To me Freetrappers shares a similar feeling/trait to Bowmakers and Mississippi Medicine. I really love this pine-y concoction! Slightly medicinal, no-surprise! But I love that. Definitely something I would wear.

Well named, for this is truly the smell of the Great Outdoors. Sharply refreshing, sinus-clearing, brain-tingling conifers and woods – definitely the aroma of cool lakeside forest, not tropical jungle or sere desert scrub. There’s plenty of moist, cool, earth in there. Not aquatic, but something – I guess the bergamot – does give a flash of glinting water as well. Truly the scent equivalent of a Dave Crockett-style raccoon fur hat – one for the mucky, rough-n-tumble tomboys (of all genders) who care more for nature than hanging out in the mall in town with the cool kids. If Tom Sawyer ever wore a scent (I know, unlikely, but bear with me…) it would be this one.
Seemed true unisex to me, and thankfully free of any of the Pavlovian associations to pine-scented cleaning product or air fresheners that could have ruined this (as they did, to me, with the legendary Caron Yataghan) … definitely a win in my view. Liked it a whole lot.

A masculine, understated and minimalist beauty, this fragrance is designed to evoke the aura of the mountaineers of the 1800s who cut through mountain trails to trap beavers. The aura is right on as the perfume has notes of wild bergamont, pine, cedar, snakeroot and a hint of castoreum, lending it a slight animalic touch. Fresh and lightly radiant this is an energizing scent that has a quiet resilience and personality. Moderate sillage and projection. Beautifully composed and can be worn in almost any setting without having to raise any eyebrows.

I got piney woods and lime, as per the notes. *Slightly* pinesol in the opening? Could smell sexy on a man, but it was a bit out of place on me. Boyfriend’s verdict: not gross, not his favorite. FYI- he also had trouble smelling it within 30 min of application, so strength/longevity is not impressive.

This is an interesting mix of incense, citrus, and woods. Certainly still leans toward the fall/winter but the combination gives it some versatility and uniqueness. One might reach for a heavier incense option in the winter or something lighter in the summer, but it’s possible. It has a strong opening, as far as projection, but dries down relatively quickly to a skin scent, perhaps within a couple hours or so, so that in that respect, it’s not as worthwhile as a couple of the other heavier D.S. & Durga fragrances. Not one I’d buy, as it’s interesting but not my cup of tea, but worth trying.

Got a mixed bag of some D&D scents. All of them are very intriguing and good at evoking moods and/or images. They’re all simple in design, yet somehow powerful in their goal. The three I tried are all very unique.
Here, the wood note is very noticeable at first with pine in the background, perhaps a little bergamot but not enough to really make a huge difference. It makes me think of the woods, wearing flannel and chopping down trees for my cabin. It’s a warm scent and it lasts a pretty decent amount of time. Sillage is probably pretty good for most situations.

Another difficult DS Durga scent to review. I don’t detect any Axe. A little aromatic ozone to start on to some lemon/lime. Mellows but no other notes arise. Medium lasting with little projection.
You won’t smell like any one else at the party to be sure

I don’t see why this can be worn by a women. I like it best out off all the Ds&Durgas I have tried so far and I’m a women. My second favourite is Sir though so maybe I have androgynous tastes in perfume. This one is fresh and citrusy with warm undertones and dry down from the woods. Very simple but that’s why I like it, I think. Not sure about putting it on my Christmas list though not sure if it’s worth a bull bottle. I’ll retry soon and report back if I have a change of heart. I have to say I love the ideas behind this brand regardless.

DS & D seems to be comitted to a minimalist approach to perfume – a few carefully chosen ingredients, well blended. I love minimalist design, but detest minimalist art. Which is this? Exactly.
It’s lime and christmass trees! It’s a tequila shot in a pine forest! I imagine this was intended for flannel shirted, bearded Williamsburg hipster vegitarian manly men. They should enjoy the trees, and leave the Axe at home.
