What does Acqua Nobile Magnolia smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards daily wear, the office and leisure rather than evenings or nights out. Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without feeling heavy. Most votes read it as feminine.

It opens with mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot as a bright citrus frame, softened by neroli. At the heart, magnolia, orange blossom, freesia, jasmine and lily of the valley form a green, powdery bouquet. Musk and vanilla sweeten the base slightly. Acqua Nobile Iris and Fragonard Maman Cherie have a close profile.
