Crystal Pistil

D.S. & Durga · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

D.S. & Durga Crystal Pistil is a fresh, powdery unisex scent built around pink pepper, orange blossom water and jasmine water; it has been discontinued. Voters rate its longevity and sillage as good, though the vote count is small, so this is a tentative picture. Being unisex, it doesn't lean toward any one gender. The top notes of dew drop, pink pepper and orange blossom water open airy. The heart holds jasmine water, floral notes and Paradisone®, and the base of civettone, white musk and ambrette seed softens it. The fresh, citrusy, floral character is balanced by woody, earthy and synthetic touches. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Crystalline Effect and Carolina Herrera Cedar Chic.

Christian Louboutin · 2016

Fresh · Floral · Sweet

Christian Louboutin Bikini Questa Sera is a fresh, sweet floral for women that has since been discontinued. Its longevity and sillage are both moderate.
