Rose & Magnolia

I picked up a sample of this while at a JM counter in Bloomies the other day. Me and the SA were chatting like besties about all the frags we love and he told me there was a new release that he thought I would like and gave me this to sniff. He was right, this is right up my alley. I normally go for gourmand scents and got a sample of the Ginger Biscuit as well but this is rose so perfectly done. The rose and magnolia are playfully holding hands walking down the street wearing matching leather jackets. I normally steer clear of gardenia in frags because it can come off a bit screechy on me but I love how the gardenia plays softly in the background. This is the perfect daytime, professional, inoffensive scent. As others have mentioned, Think Stella McCartney’s Stella, and Narciso Rodriguez for her with a dash of spice.

This is beautiful! This was really an impulse online order from JM site. I had planned on purchasing the new estee lauder limione scent but just wanted to make sure there was nothing new here. I am SO glad that I chose to buy this one instead. I love citrus, rose, and white florals. What made my mind up is the cooler weather on the horizon. If I bought the citrus now, it would be a long time before I even could wear it. This perfume is very universal. Smells much like ADP magnolia, but lasts longer and stronger sillage. This is just perfect. I smell mostly rose and magnolia on my skin. Just lovely and it feels like it will be a winner in cold weather too.

I am not a huge fan of rose scents but this one has a wonderful balance of rose and magnolia which makes it unique and delightful. It is rose with a subtle twist that makes it feel modern. As far as marketing goes, I think Rose & Magnolia would have been better suited to a spring collection rather than Holiday. Nothing about this scent reminds me of winter in the way Orange Bitters does, for example. It does make me look forward to spring which may, in fact, be the intent of this release.

I'm not a rose fan but this is lovely. Smells creamy, fresh rose. It stays beyond 5 hours on me but I also spray hair and clothes. Originally went for Orange Bitters which i now know i dislike! Rose Magnolia is a light inoffensive and very sniffable scent. Lovely.

Definitely in my top three favorite Jo Malone scents of all time! It’s so gorgeous. I’d recommend trying it should you get the chance. It makes me happy to smell and it’s the perfect springtime/transition scent. It’s a youthful, happy kind of floral.
