What does Spirit of Black Magnolia smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate: it neither stays close to the skin nor fills a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails behind. It leans towards leisure, daily and office wear, with evening use getting fewer votes.

It opens with white blossoms, ylang-ylang and frangipani, giving a floral freshness. Musk and amber soften the heart, and the base of vanilla, cedarwood and cashmere wood dries down sweet and woody. Maison Alhambra Narissa Ambre and Lattafa Shahd have a close profile.
