What does Sous Les Magnolias smell like?

It opens with bergamot and aquatic notes, bright and airy. Rose, peach and magnolia fill the heart, and the fruity sweetness sits around the flowers with a soft green, chypre feel. In the base, musk, vanilla, cedarwood and oakmoss build a warmer, woody ground as it dries down.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays with you through the day without filling a room. The number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. Its profile is close to Paradis des Sens Xanadu and Gabriela Sabatini Happy Life.
