Rose Atlantic – Eau de Parfum

D.S. & Durga - ROSE ATLANTIC - Eau de Parfum   

D.S. & DURGA  Rose Atlantic / Spritzers aboard the famous Salt Spray Rose Mists spray over wild roses. Sinatra's summer wind, dune grass in the distance, rose hips, the white ighthouse. There's no place I'd rather be in the summer than by the ocean in New England. Marblehead, Maine, Phillips Beach in Swampscott, Nantucket, just to name a few. It's hot, but the sea breeze brings in cool, salty air by late afternoon.

The cloudless sky looks east over the Atlantic. Seagulls soar high above sailboats, sloops, and schooners. The borders of the beach are covered with bushes of single-petaled Rosa Rugosa. The beach rose. So fresh and purple-fruity in the summer sun. By late summer, the rose hips glow brightly tomato red. They're sour and full of seeds. They hang heavily over the shiny, deep green leaves. Honeysuckle, blackberry, and other vines intertwine among the dune grass.

So much music is associated with this time of year. Summer jams. Soul music. The sweet syrup of Sam Cooke, the rough scrawl of Otis. Doo-wop. And the tinkling organ of Sinatra's "Summer Wind." I went to day camp on an island. Every morning we boarded a ferryboat with 2 decks (The Hannah Glover). We sang songs all the way out. On the way back, they'd play "The Summer Wind," and everyone would sing the words with all their hearts. "My fickle friend!" was the highlight.

This scent isn't just a rose. It contains the ocean, delicate petals, the green stem, the waxy leaves, and the fresh idyllic powder of summer.  

It's an everyday perfume.
