Avon Destination Wilderness is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016. Avon's Destination Wilderness carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent that’s either a surprisingly strong, outdoorsy blast from the past or a headache-inducing throwback. You'll either love its rugged, soapy pine and juniper or find it too heavy and old-fashioned.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine stepping into a dense, snow-covered forest with the invigorating sharpness of pine and juniper, underpinned by a bright, zesty grapefruit. As it settles, a warm, musky leather emerges, adding depth and a touch of rugged sophistication, while patchouli weaves through, grounding the whole experience in an earthy embrace. It's the scent of wilderness, refined.
