Beautiful Magnolia

Smells like Versace Bright Crystal sans yuzu and mahogany. Also, it’s in a more refined bottle since Bright Crystal’s marketing and packaging is to appeal to a different demographic. So, if you love Bright Crystal but hide the bottle and you’re not very fond of the sour yuzu note at the beginning of Bright Crystal nor the intense woodiness in the dry down, then this would be a perfect alternative. Also has a good resemblance to Eternity Aqua as well. They have similar notes in common. Some say it doesn’t last long, but I beg to differ. It’s most likely because you got used to the scent after a short time, but I bet others around you can smell it just fine. I couldn’t smell this either after about an hour, but a friend complimented me on this scent after I’ve worn it for over 7 hours. They say when you can’t smell a scent on yourself after a short time, it’s then that a scent suits you. Since I’ve received a lot of compliments while wearing this recently, yet I’m not able to smell this after a short time, then maybe that is true? If you’re a magnolia fan, this is a must try. The intense version is more iris much like one of the newer LVEB versions, rather than magnolia. If you love iris, give that a try. Since I already own an iris scent I’m fond of, then the intense version is most likely not for me. I could change my mind though. I have not tried the L’eau version which I hear has lavender. I’m guessing that could be similar to Libre perhaps? I’ve, for the most part, had good luck with Estée Lauder perfumes over the years. If there was a miss here or there, it was only a matter of personal taste rather than the quality of those products. Every perfume is not meant for everyone and neither is every product out on the market. It is for this reason that although reviews can be helpful, I’ve found it’s always best to sample first. Since a lot of scents offer a travel size spray option, that is a perfect way to try out a scent in your own environment to see how it wears vs. trying it in the store. It’s too easy to get scents mixed up because of the commingling of other scents having been sprayed there in the store. If a scent doesn’t work for you, you’re not out a lot of money and you can easily pass it on to someone else. Edit to add: tried the L’eau version yesterday and it smells more like Acqua di Gioia. Not exact, but close. Edit to add 2: I’ve worn a sample of the intense version and I find it quite nice for evening time for warmer weather in spring and fall and daytime during the winter. With the summer heat we have here, the L’eau version would be best during the day and this version for evening. It gets cool here but doesn’t get cold much during the winter, so this would be perfect for daytime. My other iris scent I can wear in the evening during the winter and on days we’re having a cold snap.

Overall I like this. It's pretty, feminine, uplifting and has more than decent silage and longevity, like most EL scents in my experience. Yes, it's generic but that's not what is preventing me from buying a bottle of this. What bothers me is that somehow the top notes - especially the lotus - never fade. They are pleasant enough but they overwhelm the composition and never give the base notes a chance to shine. I would prefer them to recede after a while and let the wood get some of the limelight. I find that the scent creates a sort of shampoo-ey scent bubble around the wearer that, although pleasant, smells a bit synthetic in an aquatic way. After I tested this I revisited Beautiful Belle which I had tested a few years ago when it came out. I found that it also has a sort of unbalanced top-heaviness and even a discordance between the notes. I don't find the same discordance in Beautiful Magnolla. I think I will test this a third time because there are certainly aspects of this fragrance that really appeal to me despite its drawbacks. Update December 2023 - so two years later and I now own a mini of this that came in a free gift from a purchase of Estee Lauder products. Am I crazy? When I just sprayed this now it suddenly threw me back to 1986 when I owned my first bottle of the OG Beautiful as a university student. There IS something in here that recalls the vintage OG and I did not smell it ever before on the multiple occasions when I sampled this scent in the store. I am thrilled of course and plan to purchase a FB of this when I'm done with my mini. Update 6/24 - I got a really great deal on a 30 ml bottle of the 2022 Wonderland edition. Although I do prefer the aesthetic of the regular version, the red bottle with the star charms is cute and, most importantly, the fragrance is the same.

I LOVE this and it may be HG status for me. Discovered inadvertently while sniffing and sampling fragrances at Sephora, I went on my way to give things time to develop on my skin. I was enchanted by this one and kept sniffing my arm. I had to go back and get a travel size spray. The full size is $$ and it takes me forever to get through any fragrance anyway. Now onto the scent. This reminds me of Halle Berry Exotic Orchid and of the drydown of Britney Spears' Curious. Softly aquatic and floral but no sharp notes. With these types of scents I always get a hint of leather too. I love fragrances that tend to hover in the mid notes and this is one of them. I live in a hot climate and I can see this feeling just right on a summer day. Not sweet or gourmand or sharp or screechy citrus. It's softly clean like others have mentioned... like a nice shampoo. I do just a couple small spritzes on my arms in the morning and I enjoy the scent almost all day. It radiates softly around me. I don't like my fragrance to yell. This hits all the right spots for me.

This is a BEAUTIFUL flanker. I find myself craving it and wanting more of that sweet blend of magnolia and lotus. Julia called it a "duet" in her article, and that's the perfect way to describe how this smells. A fresh perfect intermingling of magnolia and lotus, where neither pulls to overtake, they just gently intertwine. Magnolia never becomes too sharp, just a gentle sparkle, and lotus never too murky, just watery enough. Gardenia is there, too, kind of blooming inside the main duet to add some flesh and body, while rose petals float by in the water flowing around the lotus. It doesn't make much sense, but I can see a magnolia tree by a river bank, with lotus in the water, maybe one gardenia bush just starting to bloom, and someone has scattered a small amount of fresh rose petals in the water - they've just scattered them, I can still seem them falling from the air. Maybe it's not earth-shattering to most people, they'll just smell a watery floral and call it a day. But I do love it and think it's beautifully done.

Wow, I'm a little surprised at all the negative reviews. The sample that I got prompted me to get a full-sized bottle, I loved it so much. To be fair, I do not know what magnolia smells like, so I had no expectations. It was a free sample so I was all about that, regardless of what it may or may not smell like, LOL This is such a soft, feminine perfume. Starts off on me as a bright, warm floral, and dries down a bit musky. I do have both this and Britney Spears Curious, and while their openings are pretty different, the dry down is fairly similar, though I would say Beautiful Magnolia's dry down is sweeter and more floral than Curious. It's not a complex scent, and I will agree that the performance isn't the best, but it's such a lovely scent that I bought the full-sized bottle. It smells like a warm blanket on a sunny spring day and I love it!

I think this perfume is vastly underrated and misunderstood because it actually truly shines during cold, frosty winters. It gives me snow queen vibes, elegant, cold, ethereal. It's super feminine and super clean. Sweet and fresh aquatic bouquet of flowers (I get magnolia and gardenia mostly) on an elegant woody base. But this is only true in winter. After so many reviews describing it as a spring/summer scent I tried wearing it during that time too and used for formal occasions many times as it seemed suitable. Honestly, I ended up almost wanting to declutter it as it turned citrusy-sour, screechy, and it also didn't last more than 2 hours (and in winter it lasts around 6 hours on me). I was looking forward to just using it up to the end to replace with something better, but now I'm seriously thinking I'll need to buy it again.

Finally a nice magnolia fragrance! Not a jasmine, gardenia, but MAGNOLIA. As a mid-30s southern woman, I've been on the hunt for a true magnolia fragrance, and it's been very difficult to find. Mix any other white flower with it, and the magnolia gets masked. This starts off like getting slapped in the face by a magnolia flower - big burst of magnolia scent. The dry down is a bit generic perfume-y, reminiscent of Sunflowers from the 90s to me. You will have to re-apply this one for the magnolia scent, however, or apply to clothing. Magnolia scent lasts about an hour, sadly. I'm finding that with most fragrances, even EDPs anymore, though. I think that's the point - repeat business, more $$. But this is the closest to a true magnolia that I have found.

This is the only fragrance I'd get from Estee Lauder, which is not a house I'm crazy about. Tried it because of the magnolia note, wanted to know how it smelled ... and it's basically that, a magnolia scent. Says right there, both in the top and middle notes. I see it also has lotus, gardenia and Turkish rose, which prevents it from being a linear scent, and I get something that is feminine and grown up, great for warm (but too warm) days. This scent in my book rivals L'Occitane Eau du Val as a lovely magnolia fragrance.

I received a sample of this in the mail and it’s beautiful! I get the magnolia, solar notes a little gardenia and a nice soft musky dry down. This is a light & breezy floral that’s perfect for spring. Longevity & projection is good as well. I have BS Curious and they smell a tad bit similar. It’s just the magnolia that they both have in common. Curious is more “thick” or rich and also has vanilla. This is much lighter and airier. Going to Macy’s this weekend to buy a bottle. I can see this being my signature for spring!

I'm always looking for a good magnolia fragrance, which isn't easy to find. This is a pretty good magnolia fragrance. I like that it's not overwhelmed by jasmine. It reminds me (and others) of Curious. I don't know why it's not on the "reminds me of" list. Unfortunately, it does not last and has weak projection. It is not worth the price. That being said I bought a purse size because I like it. It won't last long. I will constantly be reapplying it but the purse size is handy.

Delicate yet distinctly musky beautiful magnolia, wrapping you in a refreshing floral cocoon. When I read the notes, I can now identify tea mate in it as well. It is more leaning towards ozone layer rather than aquatic - it feels like adding some fresh air. It may appear subtle at first, this scent packs a potent punch. I recommend limiting yourself to 2-3 sprays. This fragrance is perfect for the bright, sunny days.

Such an easy and effortless scent in a good way! I don't mind it being 'not unique'; it smells good! I can sum it up as light floral. Perfect for spring and summer. It's a type of scent that you can have without giving others a headache. No risk; I bought mine with a good duty-free value. If you are not trying to limit yourself with sophisticated scents, go for it! I'm happy to find my new daily perfume.

This has to be one of the most beautiful smelling magnolia perfumes. It's primarily that, but the gardenia elevates it. Smells like hanging fresh linens in a magnolia field and gardenias are in the background. Those solar notes play in so well, too. Not a big fan of most perfumes from estee lauder, but this truly is exceptional and I may purchase

Maybe I'm overreacting but this was my most favorite magnolia perfume, I miss it every day but it's kind of pricey. Obviously magnolia is very noticeable but the aquatic notes are very enjoyable. It smells like fresh spring air on a bright day. Longevity is alright and it carries far enough that you get compliments without overwhelming the room.

I adore this scent. Mainly because it smells exactly like my grandmothers house. I never knew what fragrance she wore but it smells like a cross between this fragrance and wrangler original for women. Whenever I’m homesick I put on one of those perfumes and I call my grandparents for a bit. For that, beautiful magnolia will forever have my heart

I enjoy this fragrance in the summer. Smells expensive and clean. Sweating doesn't effect it negatively and this is very important. I have a sample of it and would definitely consider buying a larger bottle. Even if not ground breaking It is very pleasing scent. It's not typical aquatic scent and it's sweet just the right amount.

I’ve had Beautiful Magnolia in my collection for 3 years, but only this year I really started to appreciate it. It feels like a true solo flower here. I also think it’s one of those underappreciated scents. For me, it’s perfect for spring, light, pretty, and uplifting. I’m really glad I finally gave it more attention.

From the first spray, it has beautiful elegant impression. But I noticed don't use it often for its sharpness. The notes are light but something feels sharp. So, to appreciate it, I don't use it summer, plus just some sprays on my clothes. Now, that is beautiful! I'm keeping it for sure.

One of my new favorite perfumes! I smelled a sample of this at the store, ordered a travel-sized bottle and am ordering a full-sized flacon. I adore fresh, aquatic, and floral scents and this is heaven! I don't care if it's "safe" or "mainstream"--I'm in love!

This fragrance is exactly what I was looking for. The first day I wore it to work, a coworker complimented it. Fast forward 12 hours, I was having my eyebrows done and my technician asked me what I was wearing that she loved it. Soft and not too harsh.

Outstanding fragrance! Although I disagree with this being basic, as some have mentioned, it's what many other fragrances tried to achieve but fall short. This cocktail beautifully captures magnolia in a way I've never experienced, it's crave-worthy.

I really like this scent, I've been looking for a magnolia forward perfume, but the longevity is way too short with this one. Trying it with a scent booster (ambroxan) to see if that helps. -- nope, at 3 hours it is barely noticeable 🤷🏼

One of my favorite floral perfumes! Some may say it’s generic or boring, but I think that’s what makes this such a beautiful fragrance. It’s a clean, flirty, and feminine scent that’s perfect for any daytime occasion.

It’s a beautiful aquatic floral fragrance but it’s too light to be an EDP. The longevity and sillage is very watered down compared to a good quality EDP. Can be a nice perfume for office or a gift.

i had a sample of this, i love how clean this smells, just fresh out the shower after an everything shower (iykyk) like so so girly but clean, what are some more affordable versions of this?

Beautiful scent but unfortunately longevity is non existent in this one. What a shame because otherwise the scent is lovely - simple and uncomplicated. Perfect for spring/summer

Such a feminen scent. It is not sweet, heavy or powdery. It smells like a garden of sprinkling flowers. Not too romantic. But suitable for daytime and office too.

Wouldn't purchase again, but it's a safe scent for healthcare workers. Doesn't last too long, but like most mentioned, a pretty scent.

i love this perfume. it's a very fresh, sweet, and simple magnolia.

I tried it at the Boyner store, it's great, suitable for all ages.

So fresh, lovely and pretty! LOVE this

I found Beautiful Magnolia disappointing, maybe because I was expecting a truer magnolia scent; I know the different varieties of magnolia (both saucer and southern species) pretty well because I live near a public park that has dozens of types of different magnolia trees. Beautiful Magnolia, unlike real magnolia blossoms, smells like a generic aquatic floral to me, and nothing like Beautiful perfume (I was hoping for at least some kind of connection, since it *is* in the name, after all). If I had to compare it to any other perfume I have smelled recently, it would be Oscar de la Renta's Flor (a Calice Becker floral freshie that starts out with a sharp grapefruit note reminiscent of the top note in Beautiful Magnolia). But that perfume is more interesting--sharper, not as conventionally pretty, bizarrely tenacious. Beautiful Magnolia is by no means unpleasant, but it would be difficult to pick it out of a lineup because it's not at all distinctive, despite the prestigious noses associated with it. I wouldn't hate smelling this on someone--it certainly wouldn't offend anyone unless you diligently oversprayed--but it would fade from my memory even faster than it fades on the skin. You might as well buy a less expensive floral from a discount site, like Rumeur by Lanvin, or Oscar Flor, or Lalique de Lalique, or Place de Vendome by Boucheron. I enjoy all those fragrances more than Beautiful Magnolia, and they're all considerably less expensive, too. Maybe I'll give this another chance; I still have several sprays left in the 1.5-ml vial, a free sample that came with my defective Cinnabar. But Beautiful Magnolia doesn't hold a candle to the regular Beautiful. I wish they'd spend their energies bringing that fragrance back to its preformulated glory and stop creating insipid and redundant quasi-flankers.

I had such high hopes for this. I love magnolia and aquatics, such as Curious by Britney Spears. I was hoping this would have quality and staying power since Curious has become a watered down whisper of what it used to be. I went to Ulta to smell it and I sprayed it three times on the card. I walked around to look at other stuff and I could not smell any particular note on the card much less magnolia about 20 minutes later. I almost couldn’t smell anything at all but a light sweet rose and I thought I had picked up a blank one with the one I sprayed but dropped it. I went back and made another card and literally it disappeared within 20 minutes from the card. I sprayed it on my jacket and before I could leave the store and check out with my eyeshadow it was gone and I cannot bring myself to purchase this. The perfume has a very pretty aquatic rose and white flower smell for about five to ten minutes and I’m not joking about the time. It barely projects anything on skin or clothes for that time. Even if it were to stay and have a good quality, it wasn’t magnolia prominent. I used to read reviews here as I have been a lurker for many years and think surely somebody can’t give a perfume just five to thirty minutes on longevity but here I am today writing the same thing. Either something is wrong with their newly opened tester ( I watched her open a brand new box and make a tester) or the perfume is a total waste of money. I hate to be negative but I want people to know what I experienced so they make decisions on if they purchase or not. I have no problems with anosmia or smell to my knowledge, usually a white flower dominant perfume with magnolia, gardenia or tuberose as main notes are heavy and sometimes too much for me. So the search continues for something like Curious but better quality.

Beautiful Magnolia is a pleasant but nondescript aquatic floral scent, equal parts sweet and fresh. I love the original, aptly-named Beautiful - a lush bouquet - but find the flankers to be nowhere near as special. However, Estée Lauder perfumes are typically good quality, and BM caters for a modern taste - light and understated - as opposed to the bold 1980s release that was Beautiful. BM opens with an aquatic floral accord. Magnolia blooms are more heady and sweet than this scent, but this sweet, fruit-tinged floral note is certainly evident here. Lotus, a flower I've yet to encounter in reality, perhaps enhances the aquatic quality. The clean musky base becomes evident early on, complementing the florals nicely and keeping things soft. I get a hint of tea, adding some herbal freshness to the florals, but it remains very subtle. BM remains pretty linear as it dries down, with some soft woodiness a predictable addition to the lightweight musky florals. This remains constant as it fades. Sillage is intimate and longevity is moderate. It is a feminine, spring/summer daytime scent. Clean, bright and pleasant, BM is an easy, everyday feminine scent, best worn in warm weather. It is also quite generic, and is not the kind of scent I gravitate towards - I prefer bolder, more complex scents. Safe, but ultimately unmemorable. 2.5/5.

It smells like a well made lotion. I can easily imagine Nivea or even Estee Lauder having lotion that smells like this. Aquatic,green Lotus that hushes into a soft,powdery Magnolia that retains a slight aquatic note. I also enjoy a good solar note when used well, and in this scent it gives it a slight glistening warmth that invites you in for comfort; I think this could be the headache maker in some people though. I feel it is well made and does something generic in a very nice way. It smells like the concept of practical femininity. I like this, but I think I prefer Magnolia L'eau for the mint adding complexity. I also feel the musk there feels creamier. It really loses out to its twin in my eyes. I also think Beautiful Belle and its flanker Love are just a little more interesting. I managed to score about 35ml from a 50ml on Ebay for £20, and wouldn't pay full price for it.I prefer Modern Muse as a work scent if we're going for Lauder. I wouldn't mind it as a gift mind. Feminine leaning but slightly unisex in the way many fresh floral that avoid excessive sweetness tend to be. I plan to keep it and use it.

Surprisingly pleasant, Beautiful Magnolia is an aquatic scent that is fresh, feminine, cold, elegant. I actually find it very lovely and good for work environments. I don't see how anyone could be offended by this, it just smells clean without smelling like drier sheets. That being said, I can't smell any Magnolia. It must be the Lotus I smell, because all I can compare this with is a Peony fragrance. Peony is not listed on the notes, but probably the Lotus mixed with the Rose created something resembling Peony. The silage is very good in the beginning, but it fades super fast. The base note are nearly non existent. So overall, it feels somehow unfinished. Well, I got it with a gift with purchase from the EL website, so I am not complaining. I am not a fan of aquatics, but this is nice without being very generic. Try before you buy, especially if you prefer complex, interesting, and awe inspiring scene, this is not. By the way, the bottle and the lid are really pretty.

When I first used this, I did NOT like it. There was a bitter opening that didn't smell like Magnolias to me. After living on the gulf coast for 37 years, I know the soft, green lemony sweetness magnolias have and BM's initial spray has something more like Off mosquito repellant. After the drydown, the more watery notes and cedar shines through, and I fell in love. My bank account isn't happy, I bought a big bottle. I wandered around my house, feeling like I was outside with cool, fresh air, with ponds and dragonflies. I am loving this. Later, I sprayed a more thick floral over it, that has fruit nuances. The two combined made for something uplifting and calming that has lasted all day. Our drizzly Pacific Northwest weather today now smells like fresh air and sunshine. I needed that.

It was love at first sniff. Even though it had been on my wish list for about four years, I hadn’t bought it until now. I guess it was because I couldn’t find the right occasion or situation to wear it. But finally, I’ve found the perfect occasion, and it’s going to be my go-to scent for work. It’s floral, clean, and musky. It’s like your own skin, but so much better! It’s very feminine and pleasant. It doesn’t bother anyone because it’s soft. If you read reviews where people say it’s a mature scent, it’s important to ignore them. It’s suitable for all ages. If you’re looking for a magnolia scent that’s clean, fresh, and perfect for everyday wear, go for it! The only thing I wish were different is the longevity; it’s not that it’s weak, but it doesn’t last forever either!

Beautiful Magnolia: Today is my second time wearing this perfume. Doesn't seem to be as likeable as the first time I wore it. The scent is strong at first spray with a blast of citrus. A few minutes later the citrus becomes subdued and the florals come out especially magnolia. As the perfume dries down it becomes just a hint of magnolia with a lot of creamy musk on my skin. It is a fairly clean fragrance and didn't pull at my nose too much. Longevity for this is decent but I am not as wowed by it as I was the first time. I will say the color of the bottle definitely fits the fragrance it smells very pink I guess. Prefer Estee Lauder original Beautiful and Beautiful Belle over this one. 5/10

A very fresh, non offensive floral scent. As in its name the Magnolia note is very strong but pleasant. I can see where this perfume can give some headaches as the floral notes tend to have a very strong lingering effect which can be headache inducing if you are sensitive to strong floral. This scent is extremely feminine with the most present notes to me being the Lotus, Magnolia and Gardenia. I find the musk is extremely light and the die down after an hour or two doesn’t seem to be as pleasant as the first application but that could also be it disagreeing with my natural scent. Overall I would recommend this scent to a floral lover but it is nothing extremely unique or a must have.

I acquired this because it was my mother's wish for Christmas one year. At some point I received an email that it wouldn't arrive on time and I really wanted my mom to open it on Christmas so I went on a hunt for it on the 23rd and after visiting several Ultas, I found one in stock and bought it. Of course I still had the other one on the way which arrived after the new year and I decided to keep it. Best decision I made. I thoroughly enjoy this fragrance. It's a very aquatic floral and aquatic fragrances have always seduced me. She's pretty and dainty and femenine. Yes, she is on the mature side but not old lady-ish, just very womanly , not youthful.

Is it lovely? Yes. Is it totally original? Not particularly. There’s something familiar about it, and not just because it’s a flanker. It does have that perfume counter gardenia opening but I tend to enjoy that. It reminds me of D&G Dolce in some of the familiar feminine notes and the way it wears. When settles down the intimate florals shine. Moderate longevity on skin but it lasts on clothing and has a nice, fresh aquatic dry down. Trails nicely. I would say it is a good fragrance for someone who doesn’t usually wear perfume. It’s a safe, pick-me-up white floral.

As the name suggests, this fragrance is a beautiful magnolia. Fresh beautiful gentle magnolia. Smells pink. Which is funny, because magnolia is a white flower. There's rose in here too, but so light. The magnolia is definitely the star. Reminds me a little of Versace Bright Crystal, and Dior Blooming Bouquet. They all have this airy watery freshness paired with a pretty light floral. Different fragrances, but with a simular feel to them. I love this fragrance. I only have a sample of this, but I wish I could spray it all over me. A must have for magnolia lovers.

While Beautiful Magnolia is a pleasant, airy floral, it ultimately feels a bit safe and forgettable. It’s a clean, inoffensive scent that works well for the office, but it lacks a "wow" factor or any real staying power. I found the longevity to be quite poor (especially for the price point), disappearing from my skin almost as quickly as I applied it. Having finished the bottle, I’ve decided not to repurchase; there are simply too many similar fragrances and affordable dupes on the market that offer much better performance and character.

A fresh, happy, sweet, feminine floral. I don't know what a 'solar note' smells like but this definitely has a happy like sunshine vibe. It's not a groundbreaking or complex fragrance as others reviewers have mentioned, but I still like it. It's pretty! I purchased it because I like the scent of magnolia, and I hadn't come across many new and modern fragrances with that note. I also love Ana de Armas who was the face of this perfume. I don't think I would feel the need to repurchase, but I am happy I have it.

Tried this one today since I've loved Pleasures years ago so I thought I'd check out the new Estee Lauder fragrance. It's a pleasant lighter floral and not so aquatic like Pleasures is. It's a light, refreshing floral. I just wish that it had more sillage and a stronger base, because I sprayed it and it only seemed to last about 3-4 hours on me, which was shockingly short. I was expecting about 6 hours like Pleasures does. I suppose you could get it to last longer if you spray it on clothes instead.

I'm liking the floral fresh category with a touch of spicy wood at the bottom. You can detect the Beautiful DNA in the dry down but it still maintains an aquatic bright freshness feel. The original was heavy floral. I wouldn't run out to get this one but you also can't go wrong with some essentials and I kind of like my basic scents. They are easy to wear and universally pleasing. The only problem like many others is you basically have to put your nose right up to your skin to smell anything.

beautiful, fresh floral scent. i imagine a crystal clear pond with lotus flowers and a small magnolia tree growing near. the opening starts very fresh and aquatic, but then becomes generally fresh and floral. i can only really pick out the rose, which is sweet and light. the musky dry down is nice and allows this scent to mesh with your skin. not anything groundbreaking or incredible, but a good floral scent for day to day wear during spring and summer.

This was my after the shower perfume today. I chose this because I wanted something pretty and floral to wear. This smells very floral, fresh and aquatic. Magnolia is the main note I smell and I also smell the lotus note. It lasted about three hours on my skin and longer on my clothes. The sillage is moderate and only within arm length. I do like this perfume but I am not in love with it. This is a pretty scent but the longevity is not that great.

Ok, Conflict of interest, I'm partial to "Beautiful", it used to be my gran's perfume. This one opens very strongly with a wet lotus for me, usually this is headache inducing in me, but not this time, at all. Then all the sweetness of white flowers . Exceptional longevity and good sillage. Yes, it's not going to be a groundbreaking potion, but it's nice and wearable. I want it for work. And definitely more of a spring/summery fragrance.
