Unlike other white flowers, which exude a sensual opulence, magnolia releases a citrusy fragrance with an airy freshness, evoking a fruit salad.
A perfect balance of bergamot, lemon and grapefruit, with touches of peach and apricot, brings an invigorating freshness, while oakmoss and patchouli add contrast to this summer landscape of white petals beneath an electric blue sky. A bright, invigorating image of the Atlantic coast.

About the fragrance:

The scent of magnolia blossoms is more reminiscent of citrus than of flowers. Carlos Benaïm’s first step is to amplify magnolia’s distinctive freshness with bergamot, grapefruit and lemon. He then softens it with a touch of apricot, before adding sensuality, staying power and a close-to-the-skin feel with a subtle blend of vetiver, patchouli and tree moss. Eau de Magnolia is an apparently simple accord, a timeless summer fragrance.

About the perfumer:

A childhood spent in Tangier, surrounded by natural raw materials, gave Carlos Benaïm a taste for beauty. Training with the legendary American perfumer Ernest Shiftan instilled in him boldness and confidence. As for his ability to continually create elegant accords, it seems to stem from his mysterious inner compass. Show less
