What does Destrier smell like?
Woods and leather form the backbone, while sweetgrass, hay and clover add a meadow-like softness. The green and sweet accords sit over a spicy, resinous and smoky base, and the animal and earthy touches darken the leathery side.
Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it leans towards leisure and evening wear. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as open to both. Profumum Roma Arso and Le Labo Cuir 28 have a close profile.
