By the editors · 2 min readEau de Magnolia opens with a bright citrus wash of lemon and grapefruit — clean and brisk, more garden-morning than perfume counter — before the magnolia heart arrives with its characteristic cream-and-green quality. This is not a soliflore; the magnolia here is grounded by vetiver's earthy smokiness and patchouli's dark earth, making it feel substantial rather than merely pretty.
Moss, amber, and cedar in the base give the drydown a quiet, slightly damp woodiness that lingers on skin. Carlos Benaim's construction reads as deliberately casual for a Malle fragrance — the kind of sophisticated scent that earns attention by not demanding it.
