What does Magnolia & Pivoine de Soie smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the number of votes is small, so the ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on either men or women.

It opens with a bright, fruity floral built from Italian mandarine Orpur®, rose and Italian bergamot. Bulgarian rose Orpur® leads the heart. In the base, Vanilla Orpur®, honey and musk settle it into a soft, sweet bed, while Haitian vetiver Orpur® adds a slight dryness. Serge Lutens Louve and Burberry Brit Red have a close profile.
