What does Magic smell like?

It opens with freesia, green leaves and peach, giving a green, juicy and airy first impression. In the heart, water lily, apricot blossom and osmanthus soften the floral side. The base of vanilla, ambergris and sandalwood sweetens it and settles it onto a woody, powdery ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer; it leans towards business, leisure and daily wear, with fewer votes for evenings. It reads feminine and modern. Amouage Reflection Woman and Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey have a close profile.
