Magnolia is known for its sweet, floral, and citrusy aromas. It oozes sweetness and freshness not uncommon among its white floral cousins. It’s certainly an evocative aroma, and one that would pair well with sunny blossoms such as ylang-ylang, rose, jasmine, violet, musk and osmanthus. Magnolia’s scent is less opulent than most other white flowers, however, and instead features touches of spicy and musky undertones. This gives it a unique and alluring aroma that many people find irresistible on their skin.

This unique combination of floral and spicy notes that waft from a bottle of magnolia-scented Eau de Parfum is also, in some ways, a distillation of all that spring stands for. The best magnolia fragrances bring out the graceful, lovely smells of the flowering season, teasing us with a glimpse of the warmer days yet to come. They evoke vivid visions of delicate feminine beauty, the comfort of a cozy home, or simply even lazy days spent lounging in the sun, sipping on cocktails and enjoying the company of good friends.
