Cowgirl Grass

Honestly, this feels pretty unique – at least to my nose. It is floral, fresh, green, everything you would want from a spring summer aromatic? I feel like this is way greener floral than aromatic. It is sweet, but grown up. Playful, but serious. Yes, it could lean into a 90’s aquatic floral, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. DS & Durga have elevated that 90’s staple into a modern sweet freshie. On my skin it is pretty light, and the lychee, peony and grass accords plays lightly, creating a sweet and soft bubble around me. Other reviewers have commented on a heavy vetiver note, but unfortunately, I don’t get that as strongly as I hoped. I love vetiver, but I feel like the actual fresh grass, and mellow musk in combination with all those florals are washing down the vetiver. In this fragrance though, it is perfectly fine. It suits its florals and dewy grass, but I understand how the vetiver would give more associations to the male counterpart ‘Cowboy grass’, that one is really heavy on the vetiver. The drydown gives way to more of the same, though, the florals get greener and the musk gets slightly soapier. Never too soapy, it keeps its fresh sparkles! The longevity is unfortunately a bit shorter than I would want, but it doesn’t really matter because I am sold on this one. 5-6 hours of a unique, modern, aquatic floral is more than enough for me.

This one haunted me for months and eventually I pulled the trigger on a bottle, and I have no regrets! On one hand, it’s peony and lychee. On the other hand, it’s my favorite version of peony and lychee. Super tart but still has some depth. I love how dry and grassy the base is, really does remind me of being in a dry desert grassland. The mix of these notes almost reads hibiscus tea to me, tart, pink, grassy. Shares a similar base with Cowboy Grass of course but the addition of amber rounds it out a bit. There are definitely cheaper alternatives to this style of fragrance, but for an earthier, more outdoorsy girl who loves very feminine peony/lychee this is a stunner and a great everyday scent.

I hate grass but I love a lychee + rose combo so I tried this anyway and I'm very glad I did. for me, it all blends into a very interesting almost powdery scent? with some spicy-grass at the base (if you've tried sweet leaf by room 1015 it's a bit similar, maybe it's jasmine since they both share that?). I'm shocked at how much I like this. also, very strong projection that gets sweeter the further away you take your arm, it's almost reminds me of the scent of smarties??? not getting Delina vibes from it at all despite the overlapping notes. 9.5/10

So unique and so wearable! I bought a full bottle and wear it regularly. It starts with as a beautiful light fruity floral, with lychee and peony, and moves to a base of sage - its more of a dried sage, sage grass maybe. There is a hint of smokey-ness but it's not astringent...maybe an extinguished smudging stick. It's not a literal interpretation of a cowgirl. It's a awesome photo or cool screen print of a cowgirl - a stylized version of what we want to think being a cowgirl feels like, freedom, joy, excitement, and open spaces.

Immediate love. I just really enjoy geranium scents. I get that, grass, and vetiver at the start, which combine into a sort of dusty soft floral. I can see why people call this “powdery,” but I think “dusty” would be more appropriate for describing the dry earthiness of this scent. The lychee doesn’t start to emerge for me until later, and it’s neither too sweet nor tart. In fact, everything in the fragrance is well-balanced, with nothing being overwhelming.
