Pros & Cons
- ✅ I finally found a Jo Malone fragrance to love, and this is it. It does a very good job of replicating the fragrance of actual magnolia flowers.
- ✅ This fragrance is simple floral, very close to the smell of star magnolia, citrusy with some aromatic pleasant roughness, and a bit of sweetness.
- ✅ OMG this smells soooo heavenly!! It smells like happinness in a bottle! It is so elegant but at the same time friendly, not snobby, easy-goin kinda vibe.
- ✅ OMG this smells soooo heavenly!! ... This is so addicting! It smells like happinness in a bottle!
- ✅ To describe this fragrance in a few words, it is fresh, elegant, feminine and modest.
- ✅ This is a beautiful floral perfume. Magnolia can be overwhelming, but the top notes of lemon, ginger and ... shiso, temper the floral notes.
- ❌ I'm... not that impressed with this one. Creamy Magnolia... nice, fleeting, the usual. It doesn't make me feel tempted to smell it again and again.
- ❌ At first, the lemon and ginger remind me a little of a bathroom air freshener or a common cleaning spray. As it settles, soft white florals gently emerge... The citrus and ginger combination feels a bit too sharp and bright for my taste.
- ❌ I'm... not that impressed with this one. ... it didn't have any kind of effect on me. I neither liked it nor hated it... just meh.
- ❌ At first, the lemon and ginger remind me a little of a bathroom air freshener or a common cleaning spray. ... if I smelled this in a car, I might get motion sickness.
- ❌ This perfume reminds me of that smell after you poop clean yourself and smell your hand after, if you are asian you will know what I'm talking about
- ❌ My first and only Jo Malone ended with a visit to the doctor and a return to the department store. Star Magnolia —> severe headaches :(
