What does Magnolia smell like?

Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind and winter least favored. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most chosen settings. Voters lean towards feminine, though the perfume is classed as unisex.

The top opens with orange blossom and osmanthus, a floral start. The heart holds frangipani, fig and apricot, which bring the fruity side forward. In the base, vanilla and ylang-ylang sweeten the scent and close it on a powdery, creamy note. Prada Candy Kiss and Molinard Osmanthus have a close profile.
