   I have owned I Don’t Know What for a while now and my opinion has only gotten stronger. As it settles, Sandalwood and Amber come through and give it real depth. Right away I get mostly Bergamot, fresh and very easy to wear. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   Picked up a sample of I Don’t Know What after reading the community buzz (2018). The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Amber and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The heart is the best part for me: Iso E Super and Vetiver feel carefully balanced. The trail is there if someone steps close, not across the room. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   A decant of I Don’t Know What sat in my box for weeks before I finally wore it. The very first sniff is crisp Bergamot, very much my kind of start. Give it a little time and Iso E Super with Vetiver comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about I Don’t Know What. Give it a little time and Iso E Super with Vetiver comes forward — smooth and well done. The very first sniff is crisp Bergamot, very much my kind of start. In cooler weather it sits closer to the skin, which I actually prefer here. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   Everyone keeps talking about I Don’t Know What, so I finally gave it a proper test. Give it a little time and Iso E Super with Vetiver comes forward — smooth and well done. As it settles, Sandalwood and Amber come through and give it real depth. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. I enjoy it when I wear it, yet I rarely think of reaching for it.

   I’ve been wearing I Don’t Know What on and off for a few weeks now (2018). The heart is the best part for me: Iso E Super and Vetiver feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Iso E Super with Vetiver comes forward — smooth and well done. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   My first DS&Durga experience was this one, I Don’t Know What (2018). Give it a little time and Iso E Super with Vetiver comes forward — smooth and well done. The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Amber and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   Picked up a sample of I Don’t Know What after reading the community buzz (2018). Right away I get mostly Bergamot, fresh and very easy to wear. The opening is built around Bergamot — bright and immediately recognizable. The drydown lingers pleasantly, and I do not need to reapply at lunch. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   Everyone keeps talking about I Don’t Know What, so I finally gave it a proper test. The base rests on Sandalwood and Amber — warm, grounded and easy to live with. That first spray gives a lovely Bergamot impression that dries down smoothly. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Pleasant, though I would not call it essential.

    A couple of wears in, I Don’t Know What has really grown on me. The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Amber and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. The base rests on Sandalwood and Amber — warm, grounded and easy to live with. After a few hours it becomes a soft skin scent with a lovely trail. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

    I’ve been wearing I Don’t Know What on and off for a few weeks now (2018). The opening is built around Bergamot — bright and immediately recognizable. The first minutes are all about Bergamot — it grabs attention without being pushy. It lasts through a full workday on me, which is exactly what I want. The composition is well made but not for me.

    For a 2018 release, I Don’t Know What deserves more attention than it gets. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Iso E Super with Vetiver, which is where the fragrance really shines. The drydown leans on Sandalwood plus Amber and that is exactly where it feels most comfortable. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. It is fine, but it does not stand out in my collection.
