ChypreWhat does Narcotic Magnolia smell like?
Its longevity is rated moderate, so it may need a refresh through the day. The fresh, green character suits everyday wear, and it is positioned as a feminine perfume.
Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot give the opening a bright citrus lift. In the heart, water lily, magnolia and violet leaf form a floral but leafy line. White musk, sandalwood and oakmoss soften the base and settle it into a chypre shape. Eau de Magnolia and Valentino Donna Rosa Verde have a close profile.
