What does Sud Magnolia smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, French blackcurrant and bitter orange, giving a citrusy, lightly fruity brightness. In the heart, Bulgarian rose absolute, turmeric and Louisiana magnolia bring a floral, green softness, with turmeric adding a spicy edge. The base of musk, New Caledonian sandalwood and American cedar settles it onto a woody, slightly sweet footing.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter chosen least. It leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters most often read it as feminine, though some call it masculine. Sospiro Vibrato and Eau d'Italie Jardin du Poète have a close profile.
