Beautiful Magnolia L'Eau

My 1st introduction to the beautiful magnolia line. I had several sample testers of the original and it never did anything for me. During my grabs of 2023 launch’s I saw this at Macys and grabbed the travel spray. This peaked my interest because it’s a softer lighter version. The “water” version, with the dubbed “l’eau” which is French for Water. And pronounced “lou”, and yes I had to watch a video and learn this 😑😂🙄 (who knew I’d learn so much French ...) anyways a note in this really is what grabbed me. Water mint - yes water mint. I thought omg that has to smell good. Oh my ever does it! This is a perfectly blended woody soft musky scent. I expected it to almost be a bit SOFTER than it is. The first blast is BAM. So fresh and everything I’d expect from a bold round EDP. The lotus and the magnolia blend beautifully with the minty freshness off the water mint note. The lavender is strong 😮💨😑 to my chagrin as I despise lavender however, it’s mixed well enough with the florals and soft cedar and musk that it works. And it’s almost needed to anchor the scent from being too heavy floral. I hauled about 6-7 new scents when I got this and this BLEW me away. I filmed for my YouTube and genuinely reacted to this so purely. This is so so so good and such a really pretty fresh take on the scent. The water mint and lotus are stars and this is FULL bottle worthy. A surprise blind buy success and a 10/10 nothing to complain about at all just. Winner.

I got my hands on a partially used bottle of this for an absolute bargain, and I would likely buy it for full price or buy it as a gift. The person who said this smells a shower gel scent is right, but I think it is to the scent's benefit rather than its detriment. It's one of the best scents I now own for the purpose of work, or just smelling clean. I could also see myself wearing this to an interview, simply because clean,subtle scents are best for thoose. It's smooth and easy going, with a clean minty floral freshness. It reminds me a little of Arden Beauty, but you swap the ginger for mint. This scent feels ageless. I can imagine anyone from a small child to their grandparents wearing this with zero issues. On the young it smells composed, on the mature it smells kind and gentle. I also find it to be fairly unisex. The typically masculine mint and lavender waltz with the ever so feminine lotus and magnolia to create a fresh scent that either can wear. My professional scent of the summer.

Very beautiful, more watered down, but sweeter version of my favorite Beautiful Magnolia. I really want it. Very beautiful, sweeter, juicy, springy frag, so yummy.

I know one may think this is a leas concentrated version of the fragrance, but i find it more floral AND longer lasting than the normal beautiful magnolia. 7/10

One of the most feminine fragrances I've ever worn. It never disappoints.

No need to run the store to try this - you have smelled something very similar before if you have have been trying scents at department stores or Sephora for over 5 years. No need to have FOMO. How does it smell? It's predominantly ozonic and aquatic. I find it perfect for hot and humid weather. Light, clean, minimalistic. I like the drydown more than the opening, which seems to have a bit synthetic vibe. What is it similar to? It reminds me of Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey line. Rather familiar scent. A plus for an enticing bottle design. Overall, just a nice scent, but it didn't steal my heart. I had higher expectations. I'll be retesting in summer.

I messed up and ended up ordering original Beautiful magnolia instead of this one and I hate to say it, but I do regret it. They are not too different and when I got my bottle I ended up liking what I have. Still, this version is more preferable for me. This one is as clean, but somehow deeper and creamier, while the original seems sharper and more lemony. I only use it after shower or when I want to appear snobby intentionally, but this one is so soft I think it would be suitable for more occasions.

Smells fresh sparkling and I get a slight fruity sweetness too The magnolia is there but isn’t overpowering Overal a really pretty fragrance, perfect when you want to smell fresh and put-together.

Water mint is central to this fragrance for me, lasting far beyond the opening - although I do think I am sensitive to minty, aromatic notes. Watery notes aren't my favorite, either, so although the magnolia in this fragrance is pretty, it's also not a fragrance I'd wear. This does remind me of something my mom once used, whether a perfume or a soap, so I might suggest it as something she could like.

Truly a flanker of beautiful magnolia, which seems to be popular. The two are quite similar, aquatic floral. The flanker is slightly sharper with water mint. I don’t detect lavender, but maybe it gives an overall “oomph” feel to it. I would say this is more unisex than feminine. Most people will like magnolia l’eau and the OG, just not for me.

I tried this to buy in store and I wasn't impressed- it has a very strong aquatic mixed with animalic. When sprayed on the test paper it smells divine- lots of floral fresh notes but I guess it just doesn't reflect well on my skin chemistry. Longevity is decent and so is projection! I would definitely try before you buy this one x

A mint bomb. Clean girl florals and mint. Underwhelmed. A shower gel scent just like the original is.

It is very feminine, fresh, and floral, but basic. It's definitely a "clean girl" daywear scent, but it doesn't have much personality. After it wears down, it gets more pleasant. The mint and florals are most prominent, which is nice in spring/summer, but I smell a hint of cedar all the time, and I don't love that. I think it's great if you're just getting into perfumes and want something safe that is fresh and floral, isn't super expensive, and also doesn't smell cheap.

The original Beautiful Magnolia infused with watermelon. This is a very fresh floral perfect for hot climates and office wear. Buy a set with the purse spray because this is one you have to reapply when away from base. Intense is my favorite of the 3 in this line but Leau is lovely, universally inoffensive, and totally wearable in all occasions.

I’m not a fan of this one. The original magnolia turns very soapy on me and this one reminds me even more of a bar soap or a lush bath bomb. For comparison, it faintly reminds me of a less sweet REM from Ariana Grande. I work for Estée so they sent me a full size but I’ll definitely be passing it to my sister who likes fresh scents.

The epitome of a fresh, clean white floral for spring wear. Lavender and mint are not strong notes, they just give a lift to the whole effect. Reasonable long lasting, several hours, suitable for anytime or place. My favourite of the three Beautiful Magnolias releases so far.
