What does Rose & Magnolia smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind; leisure, daily wear and the office are the occasions named most often. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Feminine leads the character votes, though the perfume is classed as unisex.

A fresh, green magnolia opening gives way to rose and geranium in the heart. In the base, amber and patchouli add a spicy, earthy and slightly smoky backdrop to the floral core, so it reads less as a sweet rose and more as a green one resting on a woody floor. Loewe Esencia Elixir and Heeley Hippie Rose have a close profile.
