What does Magnolia (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with geranium and white rose. The heart builds the floral body from champaca absolute, southern magnolia and jasmine sambac absolute. Amber and musk soften the base into a creamy sweetness, with a spicy touch lingering behind.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Though sold as unisex, most voters read it as feminine. Harry Lehmann Maiglöckchen and Nishane Ambra Calabria have a close profile.
