By the editors · 2 min readMagnolia opens with a creamy, slightly lemony softness that transitions into a richer heart where jasmine and cocoa become the primary drivers. The cocoa here reads as dry and dusty rather than confectionery — more dark chocolate than dessert, grounded by the frankincense resin alongside it.
Patchouli adds an earthy density in the development, reinforcing the cocoa's darker character while jasmine keeps a floral thread running through the composition. The frankincense contributes a quiet smokiness.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk build a warm, enveloping base with good softness. The overall impression is a rich, resinous floral-gourmand that leans toward the earthy and balsamic side rather than outright sweetness. Wear in cooler weather.
