Splendida Magnolia Sensuel

If I hadn't received a free sample of Mongolia sensual,I would never try to find and test it.I heard tones of negative comments from my friends and honestly I was surprised when I sprayed it on my hand.I'm going to be the odd one here but it was a like at first sniff and a "like it even more" after giving it some time. I agree that it's simple and is not outstanding but I don't want every perfume to be revolutionary.believe me I love the fantasy trip a perfume can take us too but I also appreciate simple and pleasant,non-challenging ones which make me and everyone around me feel good and it's not as simple as numerous solinote niche fragrances with higher price Magnolia is the strongest note as it's name suggests.I love magnolia and it really shines here.a natural magnolia but not a really fresh or green one.I can also smell a hint of other white florals.probably jasmine.I can detect tangerine but it stays in background.what I mostly smell is mongolia grounded by musk and vanilla,which are creamy and soft here and create a very pleasant,sensual and ladylike scent.it lasts for an impressive time but sillage never passes moderate which is a pity.I think it's wearable year round,both days and nights I don't know how much it is as I haven't seen it in a perfume shop yet but I'd really love to have a bottle whenever I can afford Edit: After using up my sample vial I can see that I love this perfume.all in all I'm not a bvlgari fan and I've not tested other members of splendida line.bvlgari omnia amethyst had been my only bvlgari love until I tested magnolia sensual.I decided to buy it and enjoy it's silky,clean scent during this spring and summer but... OMG it's very very expensive.a 50mil bottle is not available here and a 100mil one is more than 100$!! Though I really like it and find it pleasant,I don't want to pay more than 40-50$ for it.I don't know what's going on in perfume world that I've been facing so many nonrealistic price tags these days.this is def a beautiful perfume but it's simple and has soft to moderate sillage so I highly believe 50$ top would be an appropriate price for it's big size.the same thing goes on for most other designers perfumes. In past people used to buy a single bottle of perfume and use that for a year,so it's price wouldn't be a real deal breaker but nowadays there comes an interesting flanker every months and a lot of people buy more than one perfume per month.I'm one of these people.I'm a perfume addict and a buyaholic,me and my husband are both working,we're not poor but not rich either.just like most of people out there and I really can't continue buying perfumes with the prices designer brands ask for their offerings.they're as expensive as a lot of niche fragrances. If they continue this way,I have no choice but buying cheaper celebrity perfumes,Alrehabs and such friendly priced perfumes.I believe a lot of other buyers are going to decide the same soon or late Sorry for nagging and writing this long irrelevant things here.I just couldn't control myself anymore Edit: I had to buy another 10mil decant.I LOOOOVE it and can't live without it.unfortunately it's very expensive here لطفاً اگه کسی این عطر رو برای فروش یا تبادل داره به اینستاگرامم پیام بده.اسم پیجم myperfumeworld

Opulent, fluffy & creamy-citrus aura of magnolia...Opens with a puff of orange-blossom accented by tangerine, and already the gorgeous magnolia is swelling through with a perfume-y vein. The balance of citrus to white-floral is really well done here, leaning more to the white-floral than Acqua di Parma's Magnolia Nobile, although there's something recognizable in them both, the way the citrus-tinge of magnolia is done with a slight perfume-y quality. As it transitions to the heart, the magnolia comes more and more forward, and while the other notes are recognizable, they're building that gorgeous, show-stealing magnolia. Vanilla, musk & patchouli are there in the base to keep the effect going for well beyond average performance. Musk adds to the fluffiness of the magnolia, vanilla adds to the creamy-sweetnesss, and patchouli serves as an earthy anchor point. This gets more creamy-sweet the longer it's on the skin, with a opulent, fluffy aura of magnolia tinged with citrus that hangs about you. Performance is excellent, and while it could be worn year round, the opulence and warm patchouli in the base make it perfect for this time of year when looking forward to spring florals. This is the type of magnolia I would expect from master perfumer, Jacques Cavallier, who doesn't disappoint. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Contrast to Acqua di Parma Magnolia Nobile: These are different, but there is a similar vibe & style of the magnolia. AdP's magnolia is more citrus forward with a cologne-like feel, while Bvlgari's is more vanillic. Both have good performance. Contrast to L'Instant de Guerlain EDT Guerlain: These are different, but both are a magnolia forward scent with a luscious creaminess. Bvlgari's magnolia has more citrus, while L'Instant de Guerlain EDT has more powdery facets. Both have good performance. Contrast to Pure Poison Dior: These are different, but both are opulent & creamy white-florals. Pure Poison is all about jasmine with a powdery opening and woody base which altogether reminds me of snow for some reason, while Magnolia Sensuel is a creamy citrus-tinged magnolia. Both have excellent performance. Update 01/02/25: I could see this being worn as a wedding perfume. Definitely a rich white-floral, and although this isn't a vanilla scent, and vanilla isn't currently rated as a top 5 note, this magnolia leans vanillic & creamy. I've been layering this with Dior Addict 2014 over the past few days, and I'm currently in heaven. This has a depth & richness that doesn't rely on sweetness. Although this can stand alone, and has gotten sweeter with aging and lost some of the sharpness of the citrus, it can also be layered with a sweeter white floral in winter (like Dior Addict EDP 2014) or a fresher white floral in summer (like Bright Crystal Versace). I love this more each time I wear it.

I've had Magnolia Sensuel for a some time now. I had to think about this one for a while before I posted. It's Interesting and more complex than the notes would let on. I've read the reviews here prior to purchasing it. But, I bought it anyway. It took a bit. But, I think I figured this one out. This perfume seems to really work with body heat and on very moist skin. When I get out of the shower and dry off, I spray myself with argan oil and massage it in. Then I spray the BMS on my warmest parts. My cleavage, Navel, Back of My Neck, and the Brachial Area (inner elbow/arm crease). When I do, ...this perfume really opens up. It becomes so aromatic, balsamic lightly floral. It's incredible. Almost like a crushed fresh Sassafras leaf with some rich floral mixed in. It is actually a beautiful, well done parfume. Other times, if I just spray it without moisturizing and spray it on the wrists, etc. I get a lightly rancid, waxy smelling magnolia (which is what a fresh picked magnolia flower actually smells like) that quickly fades into a lightly barely detectable orange blossom type scent. Both are nice. When I read reviews on this perfume. I saw alot of people said it was a "personal perfume". I finally get what people mean. This is a very "personal" perfume. Firstly, when I wear it. I wear it for me. Just for me to enjoy. Secondly, When I properly wear BMS (sprayed on warmer body regions), I get these little aromatic whiffs that make me happy and I can't stop sniffing. It reminds me of my childhood home in the woods with all the floral trees and sassafras trees. Lastly, after the first 30 minutes most people can't really smell it but me. Unless, they're very close. Especially given the areas I spray. It's really a lovely perfume. However, in order to really appreciate the magnolia that's in it. I think you would have to know what real, authentic fresh picked, raw, and crushed up magnolia petals really smell like. Up close and personal. Not just the essential oils you buy. There were 6 large Magnolia trees outside my bedroom window for the first 22 years of my life. I climbed, played many times in those trees. Even escaped a few times as a teenager. But, I would always pick the flowers and squish them, smell them, play with them. Fresh Magnolia especially in large abundance can have a rancid, waxy scent. But, it can also have a heady, lemony-floral scent that's toe tingling. This perfume is schitzophrenic like that. Sometimes it's one way, and sometimes it's the other. Authentic Realistic Magnolia Done Perfectly.

Wowww! This fragrance is truly, breathtakingly beautiful!! I’ve blind bought Bvlgary’s Splendida Magnolia Sensuel during a recent Bvlgary sale and it couldn’t be a better choice for my taste! Instant love! Also, why is nobody talking about this perfume line from Bvlgary?!?!?? On my skin it’s a rich, dense, deep, honeyed sweet, citrusy, white floral with a base consisting of a blend of a spiced patchouli and a creamy vanilla. While it’s not a photorealistic magnolia perfume, (I can say this because I am familiar with how this delicate white floral smells like in nature), I really like that Bvlgari created a complex, multifaceted floral with tangy, zesty tangerines and fresh, spicy patchouli. I have several mid white florals with patchouli base and for me, it’s a winning combo almost 100% time. I didn’t expect this scent to be so full bodied and rich smelling. Magnolia flowers have a more delicate scent when you smell it from a tree branch. Which again, very pleasant surprise, because it is more versatile as far as seasons go, I can wear this easily even during fall colder weather. To put it simply, it smells like the colour of the bottle looks like, a sensual and seductive scent without a doubt! Don’t expect a sheer, light and airy white floral from Magnolia Sensuel... Based upon this amazing experience with Magnolia Splendida, I want to get next the patchouli, the tuberose and the jasmine dominant ones from this Splendida collection. Just by looking at the notes, all of these look very promising!

Magnolia Sensual is a strong like for me and that is a big surprise because I'm not usually a fan of magnolia fragrances. This is a very pretty summer fragrance and the review below mine is spot on. This smells Italian. Summer on the Mediterranean. I can see in my minds eye a beautiful woman in a white dress, some subtle gold jewelry her hair gently blowing in the breeze. She is wearing this perfume and all the men turn their heads to catch a glimpse of her walking by. Her fragrance leaves an inviting trail. It smells classy. It's not trying to be Sensual it just is. The tangerine gives this fragrance just enough citrus sweetness to keep the magnolia in check. The vanilla and musk here are just the right touch, not heavy giving the fragrance balance and just the right style. It is a statement fragrance without behaving like a typical statement fragrance. Chic, and effortless beauty here. I'm not usually the biggest fan of citrus florals but this one I can see myself wearing a lot during the summer. It is fresh while still being a bit opulent. This line is a real winner in my book.
