Magnolia Bliss

Does it smell like Magnolia? No. But it does smell intriguing, a little sharp, and cool/uncommon in the way that other peony and freesia scents often don't. To me, this is the perfect scent to wear out to the slightly overpriced coffee shop while you get some work done, or at least try to, but the important part is that you look cute and smell excellent. I think of this as a kind of smarty-pants, black turtleneck and thick glasses scent. Not date night, and not "universal" enough to be appropriate for close quarters office wear, but I come back to it again and again and find it's the closest frag I have to a signature scent. Having worn it for a while now, and repurchased, I think what I really love about this scent is that for me it represents the best qualities of JHAG ambroxan- strength and a little sharpness, (to the point that the very first few minutes after application are a bit much) but that after dry-down there's a real magnetic quality that the entire scent takes on. Unlike superdose, which is too much ambrox and comes off as screechy, and NAP which is far too little, I find that Magnolia Bliss is just enough. I will say that the base is warmed from what would be icy to just cool a bit by musk and tonka.

Anastasia Steele, no longer a virgin. In her Audi A3, the smell of her new car, first edition books and a new life... That's what comes into mind with this perfume. The night Christian took her for the first time on his helicopter. I can imagine this is exactly what she smelled like that night. With Ellie Goulding's Love me like you do playing in the background. It's fresh and floral but somewhat milky. I tried this perfume on a day when my boyfriend picked me up after he got out of work. I had to get his first impression. You know, the one where you get in the vehicle and they tell you if you smell good or not. Well, he said I smelled delicious, like the night we met. When he said that it automatically took me back to that exact moment. I can't recall what perfume I was wearing that night but now I'm eager to know what it was. Unfortunately I can't remember so all I can do for now is look for perfumes with similar notes. P.S. Those who say this perfume is boring and doesn't last, can't be trusted. It lasted all day on me. One spray. The dry down is still amazing. Creamy, like a bathtub filled with flowers and milk. I wore it alone. It's a soft yet potent perfume. BISOUS

I got an honestly very decently sized pen spray free with my full size Not A Perfume and I wore her all summer. She’s not complicated, but there’s something deeply nostalgic about her. On me she’s like sipping fruit punch made with ginger ale. Barefoot. Letting the sun warm your face. Your Spotify is on shuffle and something by Of Monsters and Men or The Lumineers is playing. She’s quirky, she’s twee. This would have been the most popular perfume if it came out in 2015, and I would have worn it to high school every day. To me, this is a great perfume for summertime daily wear. A sundress, a rosy lip stain and a crown braid. Shoshanna from “Girls” comes to mind, or anyone Zooey Deschanel has ever played. Jelly sandals. ModCloth. Flower crowns. Frozen lemonade. Biting into a ripe peach. Basket bags. I don’t know that I’ll repurchase but I really did like her a lot.

I think it ́s hard to find fruity florals with good sillage, that lasts all day without being overly sweet and heady, but this one has a great sillage with just a few sprays. It makes me more curious about the other JHAG scents. The nectarine is prominent in the beginning and the white flowers smell fabric softener. Dry down stays clean and shower fresh - a good smelling shampoo. I really like this one. Someone said the green note is bothering but I wouldn ́t detect it if I hadn ́t read this, and the green doesn ́t stay very long. A hint of cut grass comes through after 30 minutes and disappears. I don ́t agree it ́s sour, blends well with my skin. This is a summer freshy for me and a compliment getter. I was surprised I like this one because of the ambroxan.

I am currently obssessed with this perfume. I totally expected to like different scents from the discovery set but this was the clear winner for me. Initial spray is very strong and bright. It's not super heavy on the florals for me. I actually get bright juicy citrus fruits at the front. The musk comes through in about an hour and mixes beautifully with the light floral and juciness of the fruits. At the base I sometimes get notes of incense. To me this is an amazing complex scent with some dark edginess mixed in. I like to layer it with JHAG Not A Perfume and it works so well. I loved the tester so much i bought a whole bottle. Also longevity is VERY good. I'm excited to see how this perfoms in the upcoming heat and humidity of New England this summer.

huge fan of this one. i definitely get the shampoo/fresh out of the shower scent but i actually enjoy that about this fragrance. on me it pulls very peach/nectarine and sweet citrusy, all things i typically i reach for. the main critique i’ve found is that it’s very youthful and simple. i think that this is true, but i’m 18 so i guess the youthfulness is a plus for me. the simplicity of it is also a plus for me because although it lacks depth it takes really well to layering. i typically will layer it with the cocopeach scented body products from VS because they smell similar but this perfume lasts so much longer on my skin. when i want to tone down the sweetness or want it to lean more mature i use it in combination with glossier you.

This smells like getting your hair washed at the salon with a super fresh nectarine shampoo. The nectarine lasts on my skin for hours. The magnolia is barely there but I don’t mind because this is glorious! Everything piece of clothing that I spritz this on smells like it was washed in some $80 boutique laundry detergent. (Just learned JHAG actually does make laundry detergent?!) The sillage and projection are moderate to strong for the first couple hours, after that it’s soft but still there. Longevity is great. I can smell it on my shirt from 2 days ago. It layers so nicely with other perfumes. Right now I love it with Mohra Silky Rose by Lattafa. If you love fruity fresh shampoo scents, Magnolia Bliss is a must-try.

I am glad I didn’t pay attention to the negative reviews and bought this fragrance. Honestly I am in LOVE. One important thing about any fragrances with synthetic ingredients is that you have to try them on the skin. Every skin PH and type reacts differently to chemicals. On me, it’s not only a beautiful fruity flower perfume but lasts until I shower. Yes it does have shampoo vibes and yes, the nectarine note here is VERY similar to the one in Jo Malone’s Nectarine Blossom and Honey. The difference is in Magnolia Bliss we have anbroxan and musk bringing a certain light /airy sensation and Bergamot provides some freshness. I adore this, it lasts forever on me and will be perfect for hot Summer days. @deepgreenbeauty

Magnolia is always gonna give a little bit of grandma but this is the most fun bright fruity and just quintessentially juliette take on that. As per usual for jhag the first time I smelled this at a counter I was legitimately blown away by how beautiful it is and just instantly sold on it 😂😍 obviously the majority are voting this for spring and summer but I am about to wear this into winter layered with some slightly more obvious seasonal choices and am confident it makes sense 😂 so even if magnolia isn't 100% your vibe I'm sure it'll layer beautifully, certainly with their other fragrances, or something you already enjoy to balance the old school scent profile❤️

I’m not sure why JHAG always gives off a screechy opening on me. This is no exception. It finally grew on me and now we are into fall, go figure 🤷♀️. I am really loving this at the moment. To me it’s a bergamot with a hint of magnolia, which right now is really to my liking. Unfortunately JHAG doesn’t last on my skin, it sticks out in the beginning and then it does a close to skin scent. Funny, I remember when JHAG was on the niche realm of fragrances and now it’s sold at a popular cosmetic store. I am liking this at the moment and I will wear this till the snow starts falling here in NY Highly recommended 8/10. The longevity is not that great about 2 hours!

My favorite summer perfume. Fruity, fresh, bright, and floral -- not overly sweet, but exudes a very realistic and fragrant flower bouquet/fresh fruit stand plums type vibe. It's a bit shampoo-y but not enough to mistake it for one. On me, the top and middle notes linger for hours, and sometimes days. I'm not someone who's always looking for a beast mode frag, but sometimes the scent will stay on my clothes even after the day is up. I got this in sample form and used every little drop from the vial. When I couldn't get any more out, I finally ordered the actual thing the next day!

This one really surprised me. With a name like Magnolia Bliss, and based on the notes, I expected heavy, rich florals. I actually don’t get any florals from this at all. The initial spray is extremely green and fresh; I get a bright burst of petitgrain and ginger. After about 10-15 minutes, the plum begins to emerge: slightly sweet, slightly spicy, slightly tart. Dry down is ultimately a grassy, plummy blend I”m growing to love. While I wouldn’t call this a favorite, I could see that changing over time as I’ve liked it more and more with each test.

I grew up using fruity, flowery body mists and am now looking for the same notes but cleaner, more pure, and this is definitely along those lines. I love it sometimes, other times it can be a bit too tart. I've had pleasant experiences with it on the east coast of the US, but it's interesting that in Los Angeles, it smelled completely different. It actually smelled more masculine and botanical there, somehow, so it would seem that it can morph in different settings for some reason. It smells great in hot, humid weather though :)

This is one of my favorite perfumes right now. Magnolia Bliss is so juicy and floral, yet that musky base note gives it just the right amount of maturity. The magnolia flower is a bit of an after thought, because the nectarine is so potent and I agree that it smells soapy, like freshly shampooed hair. Personally, I never get tired of it but I probably wouldn't wear this in an office. It's definitely an outside in the sunshine kind of perfume.

This smells like the 90’s, I love it just for that reason. Takes me back to my teenage years where everything was much simpler ❤️ I tested it with 0 expectations, and I've been pleasantly surprised, especially with the drydown. It's certainly not a complicated, extremely "niche" or artisan fragrance. It's an easygoing one, one when you just want to smell good, clean and happy. This to me is 1997-2001 in a bottle.😄🥰

Feminine, luxurious, elegant. Just peachy (or nectarine-y) in this case. Fruit forward accentuated by the crisp and slight burn of citrus and ambroxan. Since this is so fruity, I barely smell the white florals but they are more apparent in the dry down, combining with the musk to create a soft, powdered sugar fruit cocktail on your skin after a few hours. Ambroxan keeps the cocktail fresh, classy, and sprightly.

I wasn't going to leave a review until reading the ones below, I felt the need to be the odd man out and say I absolutely love this fragrance, it's one of my favorite and I have been having a really difficult time finding 1 that I could call my favorite. Nice bold scent that I can actually smell on myself when I'm wearing it, that is difficult for me to find. I highly recommend it and I love it

The opening is more musky and sexy which I absolutely loved, unfortunately the dry down loses that spark and you're left with a regular citrusy floral. If this perfume was a drink it would be an Arnold Palmer lol. Still, as someone who is not a fan of florals, citrus, or most "fresh" scents I actually quite like this one, it's the closest thing to a night-time citrus I've ever smelled.

It smells clean and pretty in a crowd pleasing way. The notes I smell the most strongly are sweet juicy nectarine and fresh peony blossoms. It’s not the type of scent profile I would usually reach for on my own, but I was gifted this for Christmas and it’s delightful. It smells like a clean, feminine shampoo in the best way. For me, it will be an easy reach in the spring.

The nectarine opening is juicy and fresh, and suddenly you're hit with citrus in the face. The citrus is a little unexpected, but it's smells amazing. Really good citrus + floral fragrance, perfect for spring and summer. I do wish that the nectarine lasted longer just because it smelled so good, but nonetheless a great fragrance.
