What does White Magnolia smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, so it is noticeable through the day without filling a room. Most voters suggest spring and summer, and leisure, daily and business settings come up most often. Most voters read it as feminine, though some call it masculine.

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and citrus fruits for brightness, while cedarwood adds a dry woody edge. In the heart, magnolia and Christmas rose bring a soft, creamy floral note. Musk and white woods in the base settle it into a clean, powdery woodiness. Prada Infusion d'Iris and Bottega Veneta Parco Palladiano I: Magnolia have a close profile.
