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

Destin opens with a surprising, juicy strawberry that’s immediately captivating. This fruity burst quickly blossoms into a rich floral heart where peony and exotic champaca intertwine. The dry down is where it gets seriously addictive, with creamy cacao pod and warm tonka bean melting into a sophisticated blend of sandalwood and patchouli, creating a sensual, lasting trail.
