Magnolia Blossom

Sigh... wearing this today and it really is perfection. I have a little bit of the body splash left, about 80% of the EDT (which I am reserving for special occasions), and about half of a bottle of lotion left. This, Pear Blossom, Gardenia, Lavender Flowers, and Toasted Hazelnut (the last two are very old... 2001ish) are my all time favorite B&BW scents. I really do miss the days when B&BW created very original and authentic scents based on a single or very few notes. I also love the older, simplistic packaging. Don't get me wrong, I still love and use B&BW products and am very impressed with some of the blended scents (Twilight Woods and Beautiful Day are amazing scents IMO) that they come up with, but nothing beats the old school B&BWs days. If you are a magnolia lover and are able to get your hands on this gem, or willing to pay for it on ebay, I highly suggest going for it. I have never smelt such a nice magnolia scent to this day. It is fresh, clean, authentic, and comforting. Perfect for any time of the year, but fantastic during the spring. A+

I remember this scent as such of as beautiful "modern" floral, so much so that it was the fragrance that awakened my love for florals.It was my signature scent back in the day and my only regret is that is I didn't buy enough back ups in the early 2000s. Magnolia Charm is a lovely fragrance mist but I find that it doesn't smell like Magnolia Blossom at all, it's very safe and soft. MB had a beautifully fresh and sweet quality to it, was long lasting in comparison to other BBW fragrance mists. They need to relaunch this fragrance because it was the perfect spring summer scent.

I deeply regret not stocking up on this when I had the opportunity. This is such a clean, beautiful fragrance that radiates with femininity. It has a cool essence that makes it perfect for spring and summer, being fresh and floral. The balance between the musk and the sweet honeysuckle make it neither too sweet nor too bitter, but strikes a balance between the two. The sandalwood lends a lovely earthy note, while the magnolia creates a clean, romantic touch. Just wish they'd bring it back; if they did, it'd be one of my main fragrances.

I just sprung and bought a bottle of both the lotion and the mist off of ebay for decent prices (compared to the other listings anyway :)). WHY was this ever discontinued!?!? THis is so unbelievably beautiful. The overall tone of the fragrance is buttery, velvety, smooth, warm, just a PERFECT floral! Never too heavy or sweet, gloriously feminine. B&BW, if you're listening, you would make a goldmine if you brought this beauty back!

To: guest_Magnolia Blosson (and all the other "guests"): Just an idea, and this might be more productive, but perhaps you should write to Bath & Body Works with your suggestion to "bring it back". Nothing can be done about here at a fragrance information website.

Dear lord, I loved this perfume so much! It was my favorite back in 2007. It made me sad to see them pull it off the shelves. This, at the time, was the only scent I liked at B&BW. I hope they bring it back as a classic.

I continue to wonder why they discontinue this heavenly scent as much as you guys!! All the new scents are not even measurable to this lovely classic! Please BBW we NEED Magnolia Blossom back!!

One of my all-time favorites! I have the body splash and the perfume. it's very light and florally and fresh. i would definitely recommend this one.

I have to get this...I have the body splash...and this is seriously the BEST magnolia scent out there. SO NICE.

This one was really lovely and I wish they'd bring it back. Thank you to everyone who posts alternatives!

I am in the process of collecting the classic & discontinued scent from BBW. And I am so freaking lucky to have bought Magnolia Blossom body mist for just US$8 from a forum friend of mine. I sincerely think this is the CLASSIEST scent that BBW ever produced. It smells like a high quality niche perfume, albeit a linear one...Heck I can peel the BBW label and put the new 'Serge Lutens' or 'Guerlain' label in front of the bottle and nobody would even notice the difference scent-wise. It is that classy! Magnolia blooms in the opening, and I can smell the faint rose mingling. Middle notes, the rose is gone and all that left is a soft, fleeting magnolia petals until the end. Pure class from BBW. But it sucks that they actually discontinued this gem...This scent is not for teenagers though,more ladylike & mature. I am using this scent sparingly and only for a classy date or formal parties.

If you are looking for very similar scents to this, look at what's offered by L'Occitane, Jo Malone and Acqua di Parma. Some very nice options there that you will like. I bought B&BW Magnolia Blossom based on the raves here. It's certainly a very nice, fresh, soft fragrance that smells authentically of Magnolia rather than chemicals. However, its longevity is the worst of my 200+ collection of fragrance samples. It's undetectable within 30 minutes. Definitely not worth the expense of vintage stock, and not practical to use as an actual perfume.

I just received the 1.7 ounce eau de toilette yesterday. I'm being very careful not to spray wildly as it is now vintage, and I won't be able to replace it. From the handful of sprays I used, Magnolia Blossom appears to be a light, fresh floral. On my skin, it's almost an aquatic floral. If you associate colors with fragrance (synesthesia), I think the appropriate shade for Magnolia Blossom would be a very pale sky blue. It has a sharp, cool edge to it. As it dries it gets a bit more powdery and musky. The notes listed are a good representation. Someone said it reminds them of L'eau de Issey just a bit and I can agree with that. I wouldn't classify this as a white floral because there are various types of florals here. Overall, it is a simple composition, perfect for very warm weather. Sillage is very light. Longevity isn't too bad. It lasts much longer than I expected. At least at the 4 hour mark I can still smell it on myself. I am not in love with Magnolia Blossom like most reviewers, but I do agree that it is pretty. Edit: VERY similar to Shi by Alfred Sung, truly almost dupes, but Magnolia Blossom has more of that powdery creamy feel in the background.

Beautiful fragrance. After a shower this smells so good on me and I've received many compliments. A floral fragrance made up of dominant magnolia but sweet with touches of rose, peach blossom, jasmine and honeysuckle. This is very much an amber perfume also and it's really all I could detect at the base. The musk is light white musk. Magnolia is my favorite flower so I always look for fragrances that have magnolia. Light, soft, sweet. Downside: doesn't last too long but you can re apply. I carry it in my handbag. Perfect for warm summer months and spring days. Day time casual. Nothing mature or complicated about it, just a sweet and innocent fresh floral scent with a soapy amber touch at the end. I love Bath & Body Works. I must have bought every one of their fragrances.

I bought the splash in 2007, along with a few other like - Japanese cherry blossom, honeysuckle, moonlight path, etc. Among all the fragrances I tried, this one remained an absolute favourite. I got it from a friend in the US (I am based in India) in 2008, and have been using the same bottle eversince. After enquiring later, I got to know that they have stopped the production. Guys, lets start a petition or any other activity to compel the production team of BBW to restart this product!! Let's use this platform to come together and write a mailer to the BBW team.

I have savoured this fragrance since I brought it....But now that I have heard of scentmatchers.com i may just well order a bottle and see if they get close to the real thing....It seems that BBW will never reinstate this fragrance so time to move on!!! It is beautiful...I love it and it does remind me of Issey Miyake a wee bit....Honey suckle...jasmin...gorgeous...Im glad im well stocked because it's fetching a mighty high price on EBay these days...

BTW there is also a website called scentmatchers.com that I have been ordering from since they've discontinued the scent and they match it perfectly. It's much cheaper than purchasing from eBay. I have also notified BBW that I have been taking my business there along with others that I know... They really don't care.

Like most everyone else here, I adore Magnolia Blossom and was saddened to see it removed from B&BW's available line. I miss my "Fall Fragrance" and plan to let B&BW know about it! If and until it becomes available through B&BW, I will search for it at a more reasonable price.

I LOVED this fragrance. It was so soft and demure. B&BW is crazy to discontinue this one. They should have discontinued White Cherry Blossom, or Honeysuckle instead. It's because of this fragrance, that now I'm SEARCHING for a good Magnolia Soli Flore (sp?)

I have contacted Bath & Body Works several times via e-mail and made my friends and family do so as well. I mean at least 100 people, and they still have done nothing! I've lost hope on getting this fragrance reinstated.
