Magnolia

Floral, lemony, suave and fruity.

Floral, lemony, light and creamy sweet. The magnolia note is ultra lush—adding an intoxicatingly suave facet to floral and citrusy accords. It is delicious on the skin in springtime, emitting a fresh-floral scent tinged with waxy lemon.

MAGNOLIA NOBILE

Many perfumes have explored the velvety touch of magnolia petals. However, we can stand out Magnolia Nobile, which reveals all the elegance and softness of this flower, with a fragrance that opens with a crystalline citrus freshness. The bouquet of magnolia, supported in the heart by rose, jasmine and tuberose, gives an elegant and modern femininity.
