What does Magnolia (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with apple and magnolia, followed by a white floral heart of jasmine, gardenia, tuberose and lily. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, oakmoss, musk and vanilla settles it on a woody, powdery, lightly sweet ground. Green and fruity touches keep the florals bright, with a chypre structure sitting quietly behind.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business wear lead, while evenings and nights come well behind. Most describe it as feminine and classic. Harry Lehmann Valldemosa and Goutal Gardénia Passion have a close profile.
