What does Magnolia smell like?

It opens with water lily, pink grapefruit, green notes and eucalyptus for a clean start. The heart turns to magnolia, rose, ylang-ylang, geranium and violet, giving a garden-like floral feel. In the base, musk, amber and vanilla soften and sweeten it, while oakmoss and sandalwood leave a woody trace.

Longevity and sillage are rated as good, though the vote count is small, so treat that as a rough guide. Voters mostly choose it for leisure, daily wear and the office, and it also works for evenings and nights out. Renier Perfumes Anacaona and New Notes Queen of the Sea have a close profile.
