By the editors · 2 min readMagnolia opens creamy and lactonic, its waxy petals already folding around the sharper citrus of bergamot and mandarin that flash for seconds then vanish. Heart layers keep the white-flower theme consistent: jasmine adds indolic radiance while orange blossom contributes a honeyed green edge, so the bouquet reads luminous rather than sweet. Cedar in the base stays clean and pencil-sharp, letting patchouli supply the only real earthy weight, a quiet cocoa-like darkness that stops the flowers from floating. During the first two hours the scent hovers close to skin, a silky citrus-magnolia skin veil that gradually dries to soft blond wood. Projection remains polite—office-friendly—yet the lactonic magnolia lingers on fabric through a warm afternoon, making it an easy reach for spring brunches or summer travel days when you want freshness without aquatic clichés.
