Pros & Cons
- ✅ Eau De Magnolia is a beautifully delicate slightly aquatic, soft white floral. It’s gently fragranced like an aromatic pear. It’s crisp, subtly sweet and watery like morning dew in an orchard.
- ✅ The scent feels extremely clean and fresh. It smells elegant, clean, and never feels toxic or overpowering.
- ✅ A very masterful blending which is fresh, contemporary, bright, mysterious, and surprisingly not particularly feminine! Any man with even a shred of artistic sense will immediately see its value and uniqueness.
- ✅ Eau De Magnolia is a beautifully delicate slightly aquatic, soft white floral. It’s gently fragranced like an aromatic pear.
- ✅ Absolutely beautiful, photorealistic magnolia.
- ✅ Fresh bergamot opens the composition, followed by a gentle yet remarkably true-to-life magnolia.
- ✅ To me, Eau de Magnolia is summer poetry, an exercise in abstraction rather than a simple olfactory refreshment.
- ❌ Soapy and tart but pleasant enough if you like realistic white florals. The scent basically disappears from my skin after an hour.
- ❌ It is far too fresh and tart for what I would expect from an elegant white floral. To my nose, the floral aspect is completely smothered, and the jasmine adds a rather nauseating edge as well.
- ❌ While I appreciate the effort has been put into the making of this fragrance, I just can’t get past the fact that it smells almost identical to the Magnolia scented Glade Air freshener that my Gran used in her house.
- ❌ I know it’s FM and this is almost blasphemy to some, but to me the magnolia is hiding under a very thick blanket of lemons, buried beneath a pile of other sour fruits.
- ❌ Bergamot galore and just a little bit of Magnolia. Some mossy notes. A very green scent. Doesn't last much either.
