A day at the beach
Quentin Bisch has created another wonderful fragrance. Destin by Balmain Beauty.
Top Notes: Strawberry, Peony, and Pink Pepper (Baies Rose)
Middle (Heart) Note: Lily
Base Notes: Musk, Patchouli, Sandalwood, and Ambrettolide / Ambrexolide
The top note smells like a mature, "designer strawberry" rather than a sugary sweet body mist.
Tthe heart is a Fresh, rosy peony that transitions the scent into an unexpected creamy lychee facet, while a delicate green lily accord adds a clean floral depth.
But the dry down is where perfumer Quentin Bisch's signature niche style shines. The base uses a smooth blend of sandalwood, patchouli, and spicy Akigalawood, anchored by Ambrexolide to leave a warm, musky "second-skin" trail
It makes me happy and feeling like a breezy day on a white sand beach. Not because it carries a typical blue scent or oceanic smells, but because it provides happiness and relaxation like a carefree day at the beach spent with one you love.
