Magnolia en Fleurs

I already blind bought Iris Fetiche from this Avon Artistique-line and love it. I ordered a travel size spray of Magnolia en Fleurs..just in case it's not my thing. But I read the reviews and was curious. I could have ordered a full bottle of this scent! The bottle is beautiful and the scent is just my kind of floral. I must admit, I wasn't sure how magnolia smells, I confused it with gardenia sometimes. Gardenia can be suffocating when strong and dominant - magnolia is delicate. Now I remember that I have had magnolia scents before (Yves Rocher!) and they smelled just like this. Now I know magnolia: So pure, fresh, feminine. Perfect for spring and summer and for daytime use at home or at work. This is something I want to spray right after taking a shower or sauna. Next time I will get the full bottle - you never know if they discontinue this line. Together with Iris Fetiche, Magnolia en Fleurs make a nice pair of the the two type of fragrances I love most: Soft, cuddly and gourmand and fresh, feminine florals. If you love magnolias, try this one. It's elegant and beautiful.

This turned out to be my cheaper version of Chanel's Cristalle Eau Verte. The latter is just a masterpiece of crispy silvery magnolia. But this Avon's: first I wasn't sure I really like it but after many months and a few wears I see that magnolia here is similarly nice and crispy as in that Chanel's scent. I bought Avon's first so who knows, maybe Chanel's tester later tricked my nose enough to like Avon's even more. I'm still longing for Cristalle Eau Verte (to get it cheaper than in the shops) but I enjoy Magnolia en Fleurs as well, even when I had both. I consider them comparable, Avon's seems to be a bit stronger and sweeter. I chose this scent over many available by carefully reading Fr reviews here and it paid off. It is unisex, maybe leaning feminine. It doesn't have the specific cheapie smell in it which is also a reason to enjoy it.

Christ almighty, whoever says it's a women's frag you're just selfish (that's true for so many women's frag), because I had that kind of Jasmine in all mine men's frag, especially with that musk-santal combo, it really brings up so many of my early favorites, yes maybe beacuse it reacts well on my skin, that I detect it as a unisex fragrance, but that's the beauty of parfumerie and especially the Artistique line, they want to break out finally, and let all the people live in their fantasies, but enough of my ramblings, what's bad in the marketing side of scents! Like I said, it's a heavier side of green floral combo, I can even imagine, you can bring this to dates, it's so good! Maurice had some really great scents, and I'm happy this is one of them. Really thinking of that it shares some DNA with Alien, please let me know!

At £11 for 50ml on Avon's UK website, this is the most generous gift from the master of white flowers Maurice Roucel and personally, I am very grateful for it. This is a beautiful, clean and elegant scent. A bit cold and distant, but also fresh and quirky at the same time, it reminds me of the legendary Rive Gauche, with which it shares quite a few notes. Actually, you wouldn't be wrong if you thought of it as the stripped-down white flower-dominant, updated version of Rive Gauche, with longevity and presence to boot. My husband is equally impressed and adamant he'd be wearing it himself.

Maurice Roucel is my favourite perfumer so I could not wait to try this, and it is wonderful! I don’t actually have a full bottle size of a fresh floral type fragrance. This will now be my go to for that mood. This feels so pure, fresh, and softly green. It is slightly sweet but only in the way that freshly picked flowers give off a whisper of tender sweetness. It is comforting and calming, I am just an instant fan. This is the antidote to 2020. Oh and the quality is excellent, longevity is perfect, like everything else about this one.
