What does Magnolia Romana smell like?
Most voters pick spring and summer, and place it in daily and office wear. Longevity and sillage are moderate; the vote counts are small, but it reads as a scent that stays close rather than filling a room. It sits comfortably between masculine and feminine.
At the start, cypress, basil and lemon leaf give a citrusy, green and lightly spicy freshness. In the heart, aquatic notes, lotus and magnolia add a floral, watery softness. The base of cedar, hay and white musk dries down woody and faintly sweet.
