An ultra light fragrance that disappears on my skin within minutes. Opens with strong lemon, lime, bergamot and salt — a lick of foamy wave on the coast on a bright sunny summer day. Something floral rounds it out, though nothing strongly rose. Within a few minutes the scent is gone. Sticking my nose right up to my arm I smell more grassy green notes and that beautiful neutral salt that keeps the perfume interesting. A few minutes later, a soft rose petal comes through. But it’s too late, the fragrance is nearly gone and soaked into my skin like the ocean water.

I love wild radish’s review below – it very eloquently describes exactly what I detect in this fragrance, but would not have been able to put into exact words. I love roses but have never really found a rose perfume I loved. This smells like a real rose to me – a wild ‘rosa rugosa’ growing in dunes by the beach. I detest aquatic notes, but this just smells of fresh, salty seaside air. I bought a big bottle after testing for a day because although it cost more than I like to spend on perfume nowadays, I felt I couldn’t live without it.

Perhaps it’s my skin chemistry, perhaps it’s the combination of notes in this one, but I experienced a scent from this fragrance that I have never found in a fragrance before…sweat. Body odor. Upon initial application, it smelled like what I thought it would- a light aquatic floral with some citrus. But no more that five minutes later, this bizarre scent of I-forgot-deodorant-today crept in, and it didn’t leave. Now, this scent is incredibly light so I didn’t feel like I needed to scrub it off. However, I also definitely did not want to get too close to my wrist, as I didn’t feel the need to experience the aroma of a crowded, sweaty gym.
I’m a little baffled my it, and I have no intentions to try it again, but it seems like others on here have had a pleasant, if not fleeting due to poor longevity, experience.
Bottom line: try before you buy…but probably don’t buy, because you can get better rose perfumes for much less money.

This is beautiful. I do think it’s fleeting and more of a skin scent, but it’s succulent, juicy, salty, and rosy gorgeousness. I just recently bought a perfume so I can’t add this to my collection right now due to the cost, but I need this in my life. This is so refreshing. I keep nuzzling my nose into my arm to sniff it. It reminds me of roses but also being out on the ocean. I do like how roses smell, but a lot of the time, rose perfumes can be too much. Just heavy and harsh, and not a beautiful real rose. This is so lovely. I do think it’s over-priced, considering the longevity. But as soon as I can, I’m getting the small bottle. I wish they had it in a pocket size bottle like D.S. & Durga has for Mississippi Medicine. This is too beautiful. I’m also liking the White Peacock Lily and the Radio Bombay samples that I got, but this is by far the best of the 3, to my nose. I want to bathe in this stuff. Lol. I highly recommend trying it. But it definitely costs more than it should. I wish I could find a cheaper dupe.

Lemon & juicy roses in general with watery effect and slight fresh salt. No grass, no vetiver, and definitely no musk. a fresh rosy blend that is quite interesting somehow, as it doesn’t have that peppery sharp rose thing that accompanies red roses, just a juicy sweet red roses.

Opens very light, a “watery” rose that moves quickly to plastic doll head but doesn’t linger there, just lifts off to a slightly soapy, slightly fruity, slightly floral, slightly beachy, utterly forgettable skin scent.
Айболит6700 – :
D.S. & Durga Rose Atlantic is an interesting fresh, aquatic, green rose. I definitely get plenty of the citrus (lemon, bergamot) at the opening and a salt green dry down due to, well, “sea water” and “grass” notes.
Fresh rose fragrances are always difficult to pull off as a man, and I’ve found comparatively few (one notable exception being Amouage Lyric Man) that do the trick. Rose Atlantic is certainly part of the trend, so it’s not one I would reach for much even if I already owned it. I like the rose part, the green part, and the marine part, but the mix is just off-putting enough remind me that it doesn’t suit me. It’s nice, but not nice enough on my skin.
As with Radio Bombay, though, Rose Atlantic suffers from relatively weak performance, especially as a high-priced EDP ($175 for 50ml, $260 for 100ml), so it’s possibly a tough sell to even those that love the scent.

It seems to be difficult to do a rose fragrance well. For me this was very short lived and not very luxurious or comforting (like the other scents I have tried from D S & Durga).

I have been searching for an authentic “beach” fragrance that evokes sun-kissed shoulders and sand, but without the suffocating coconut sunscreen that many summer skin scents draw upon. Enter D.S. & Durga’s Rose Atlantic. This fragrance opens innocently with lemon oil, tomato leaves (I guess that’s the dune grass?) and just the faintest rose. The kind of rose that lingers on hothouse flowers from the florist: minerals, petals, hot water and oxygen. Then it dries to a decidedly sexier sea salt; like the odor of a damp, stretched-out swimsuit flung over the wooden planks of an outdoor shower. On my skin I detect saliva, the closeness of someone else’s breath. There’s unwashed hair and nude skin, flaked salt and sand. Very provocative. I can’t help but imagine weekend affairs spent on a single, threadbare beach towel. I’m smitten!

I would recommend to sample this perfume to those who don’t like rose scents.
This is absolutely beautiful composition. Very light, but not watery (which happens a lot with scents that have water notes). It took me instantly to the Baltic sea shore, where lots of rosehips grow on the sand dunes.
Few moments later, a gourmand and mouth watering sweetness of linden blossoms shows up… and I can’t stop sniffing.
This perfume could also be a great substitute to Atelier Cologne “Rose Anonyme”. They do not smell the same, but they share the same magical “smell of roses in the wind”.
