D.S. & Durga Mississippi Medicine for Men | 5 ml Sample – A Ritual in a Bottle

Step into a world of ancient ceremonies and sacred woods with D.S. & Durga Mississippi Medicine, a bold and introspective men’s fragrance inspired by pre-Columbian rituals of the Southeastern Native American tribes. This scent is not your average cologne—it’s a mystical, smoky, and earthy journey meant to evoke forgotten histories and the spiritual essence of medicine men and tribal fire.

Available now in a 5 ml spray sample from Scents Angel, Mississippi Medicine is ideal for fragrance explorers and collectors looking to experience something genuinely different. Whether you're sampling before committing to a full bottle or simply want to embrace the storytelling power of niche perfumery, this sample invites you to smell the past with intention.

🌲 A Scent Rooted in History
Created by David Seth Moltz, the co-founder and perfumer of D.S. & Durga, Mississippi Medicine takes its inspiration from the Mississippian culture, a society that existed before European colonization. The fragrance doesn’t just borrow from history—it honors it, conjuring the spiritual smokes and herbal balms used in sacred rites.

This scent is earthy, smoky, and mysterious. It’s made for men who seek more than just freshness or sweetness in a cologne. It’s for thinkers, artists, spiritual wanderers—those who see scent as a path, not just a product.

🌿 Scent Profile – Woody, Smoky, Sacred
Top Notes: Red Cedar, Aldehydes
Heart Notes: Incense, Cypress Root
Base Notes: Birch Tar, Frankincense, Apalachian Red Cedar

The fragrance opens with the dry spice and austerity of red cedar, immediately establishing a sense of wild, forested terrain. Aldehydes introduce a clean, mineral brightness—like early morning air before a ceremony begins.

In the heart, the scent becomes more spiritual. Incense smoke rises softly, joined by the deep resinous pull of cypress root, creating an atmosphere that feels ceremonial, ancient, and meditative. It’s not overpowering, but quietly powerful.

The dry-down is where Mississippi Medicine fully embraces its identity. Birch tar, with its dark, smoky, leathery essence, lingers against warm, spicy frankincense. The return of Appalachian red cedar grounds the composition, leaving a powerful impression of dry woods, burned herbs, and sacred spaces.

🧠 Who Is This Fragrance For?
Mississippi Medicine is for the man who walks his own path. He values originality and finds comfort in nature, mysticism, and deep storytelling. This scent might not appeal to everyone, and that’s its strength. It’s not mainstream, but instead meaningful, for those who want to wear something as thoughtful and unique as they are.

Ideal for:

• Fall and winter wear

• Introspective moods or solo adventures

• Lovers of woodsy, resinous, smoky notes

• Men who appreciate artistic, story-driven scents

⏳ Longevity, Sillage & Performance
Longevity: 6–8 hours – powerful but not overwhelming
Sillage: Moderate – leaves a warm, smoky trail
Projection: Medium – present, yet respectful

The performance is solid, with a slow, smooth evolution that transitions from fresh cedar into warm incense and smoky birch. The dry-down clings to skin and clothes, creating a ritualistic aura that lingers long after the day is done.
