Destination Wilderness

Avon still know how to throw out a winner! This is nigh on perfect. Soft, soapy, rugged pine - if that makes any sense. The only scent I've tried that comes anywhere close to my old favourite, Krizia Uomo. This isn't as punch in the face soapy pine as Krizia is, more of a refined, delicate, 21st century variant. There's no sweetness with this, there's nothing floral, just a wonderful sense of the outdoors. And the drydown, what a perfect drydown. From the opening of soapy pine and juniper it changes over the hours to a soft musky woodsy kind of pine. This is great to wear on the chest where your body heat can keep pushing out the frarance. Longevity is excellent. After the first 4 or 5 hours it dies down to a very subtle skin scent, still noticable after 12 hours. Sillage is moderate depending on how much you put on. Avon Destination Wilderness, outdoors in a bottle. Strong soapy pine that gives way to a soft musky patchouli woodyness.

Pine is present just in the first 40 minutes, after that it becomes a great clone of Guerlain Heritage. 7.5/10

Destination Wilderness has the spirit of the 80's. It is thick, resinous and strong. The initial hit of soapy pine in a duet with juniper is loud, expressive and strong in expression. Over time, it becomes warmer and sweeter and at the same time quite pleasant. The smell of the forest, maybe a bit old-fashioned, is not likely to appeal to young people. I don't know if I want to reach for it too often, but I appreciate Avon's attempts to revive the atmosphere of a bygone era, just like in the case of their other fragrances with the spirit of the 80s - Mesmerize classic and Black Suede. Unfortunately, the first one has already been withdrawn and the second one has been reformulated (even Avon does this) and is a shadow of its original. It is worth adding that I was surprised by the very good parameters, both durability and projection are great. I didn't expect that I would write like that in the context of Avon perfumes. 7/10

Great scent!!! In my opinion is good for rainy days. Longevity about 7h, projection 4h.

This fragrance gives me severe headache. Heavy and cheap smelling,impossible to wash off even. There is some interesting notes,but they are ruined by the heaviness. Never again!
