By the editors · 2 min readMagnolia opens cool and waxy, its lemon-peel edge framing a plush rose that feels almost suede-like. Iris slips in immediately, powdering the petals and pulling the florals away from sweetness toward a matte, cosmetics hush. Jasmine and osmanthus add quiet yellow highlights, keeping the heart from turning chalky while magnolia still hums overhead. Sandalwood arrives early, its creamy grain softening the iris and letting vanilla’s roundness settle without dessert weight; musk dusts the base in clean skin. The dry-down stays pale wood and talc, a blur of petal and paper that clings close yet lasts. Projection is polite office distance; spring through early fall days, especially when you want florals without sugar.
