The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2026, Destin by Balmain Beauty is a Floral Fruity fragrance designed to evoke the essence of modern elegance. Perfumer Quentin Bisch crafts a composition that balances sweet and fresh notes with powdery and woody undertones. The opening hints at strawberry and pink pepper, providing an initial burst of freshness and sweetness. This gives way to a heart of peony and lily, which brings a delicate floral bouquet. The base notes of musk and patchouli offer warmth and depth, grounding the scent in a powdery, woody embrace.

How to wear it

Apply Destin in layers for maximum impact. The strawberry and pink pepper top notes dissipate quickly, so a second application after an hour can help maintain their presence. The musk and patchouli base notes take time to develop fully, so wear it close to your skin where the warmth of your body helps them bloom.
