I am a Dandelion
Magnolia opens cool and waxy, its lemon-tinged petals already streaked by myrrh’s bitter resin, creating a spring-green accord that feels like snapped stems.

By the editors · 2 min readMagnolia opens cool and waxy, its lemon-tinged petals already streaked by myrrh’s bitter resin, creating a spring-green accord that feels like snapped stems. Cypriol slides in within minutes, its dry vetiver-like rootiness darkening the petals to khaki while amplifying their earthy facet. Clove arrives last, pushing a hot, metallic spike through the heart that scorches the remaining floral oils and leaves the scent smelling like a crushed dandelion stem on hot pavement. The dry-down stays close, a muted green-wood dusting with only ghost-like sweetness; projection is arm-length for two hours then hovers at skin level. Quiet outdoor mornings or solitary desk work on cool, damp days; longevity sits at four to five hours.
