Magnólia

So pretty and a very light edc level fragrance with a light refreshing true floral of Magnolia. Though fleeting it’s very feminine and fits the word ‘pretty’. It’s a refreshing yet calming spritz because of its simplicity. If you like Magnolia this is a no brainer for Spring/Summer and if you lean to citrus or white musc in very hot weather you may find this floral particularly pleasant. As a cologne, to be sprayed freely this is light, airy and suitable for anyone but leans any age feminine. The cost is excellent for the quality and you can overspray comfortably. For days when you want something very light but engaging. I have five fragrances from this brand and this is the lightest but also the cheapest. I have not layered yet but will see how it performs over DS & Durga. I don’t know what/ Livre Blanche (Zara) to see if a base supports longevity but not all fragrances should last eternally.

For a gardenia dominant fragrance, this scent smells very unique. I have few other magnolia scents with green notes but the others don’t smell as beautiful as Granado’s Magnolia Colonia! Smells very honeyed, sweet and powdery, to me it’s green just in the opening and after about twenty minutes goes straight to that smooth, soft, honeyed, sweet combo of magnolia and mimosas. It’s a truly unique and beautiful, feminine fragrance that was instant love for me. I have never tried anything from Granado besides Magnolia Colonia and another fragrance, Epoque Tropical, both tested today, but I’m looking forward to get a bottle because even though it’s a colonia concentration, on my skin lasts longer than some EDP thar costs triple the money! It’s really a sunny, tropical smelling white/yelllow floral for a very affordable price! Highly recommend Granado as an alternative to European designer brands.

One of the types of scents I think of as a bath booster, it smells really freshly clean! But it also has a smoothness to it that made me instantly fall in love when I was at the store, it feels incredibly soft, in the tactile sense. So lovely! No notes! I adore it :)

If I could describe this scent, it would be with the words comfortable and pretty.

It’s actually doesn’t smell quite floral for me. It’s rather woody, sweet and a bit spicy. I can smell some tart and green fig, powdery musk and some sweetened woods, but not much of an actual magnolia. That’s why I like it :) It actually reminds a bit of Gris Charnel BDK.
