Magnolia & Mure

Smells like walking through a sunny, summer forest filled with ripening fruit and a little bit of folktale magic. It makes me think of a beatiful little wood nymph playing in the trees in the midst of summer. It's an extremely natural scent that is irresistibly delicious and fruity. I usually find fruity perfumes a little bit too much, but this perfume is incredibly complex and "honest". There's nothing fake or unnatural about it. If there was a goddess that would represent it, I would definitely pick the animal-loving, wood-frolicking goddess Diane. It's fresh, yummy, and sweet with a touch of wisdom and sophistication brought on by the more woody and deep magnolia note.

I've been on a quest for Zara perfumes, but ended up on the L'Occitane counter. As a magnolia lover the bottle grabbed my attention instantly. I sparayed this on my wrist and I am delighted - after 5 hours I can still smell it on my skin and on my sleeve the sillage is more intensive. I like it a lot - it starts as a sheer magnolia scent, then the fruits come and after a while patchouli. Very nice mixture of notes. After this first encounter with this brand I am a fan.

This is my favourite fragrance for every day wear, a lovely scent which is subtle yet fruity and floral, perfect for day time wear - I was so gutted when this got discontinued, I still have 2 5ml bottles left but don't want to use them as once I do it will be gone forever 🥲 I hope L'occitane bring this back at some point if only for a season as I'd buy several!

fell in love with this instantly at the L'Occitane counter....berry berry nice. cant recommend it enough. Light, flora and fruity. Neither flora nor fruit note over powering but blending perfectly. Mysterious and I get asked frequently about it. Delicate though.

reminds me of Amethyst Lalique. nevertheless, magnolia and mure seems more elegant and expensive to me.

All the L'Occitane collection de grasse frags smell very similar except for this one. This is quite a luscious fruity smell as opposed to a high pitched white floral or herbal like the others. Reminds me a tad of Karen Walker B (which I'm not keen on). I almost smell pink pepper in this though not listed. This is a pretty fragrance, though certainly not my favourite. Nice, but I am not astounded, sillage is soft & longevity is not impressive. But this is typical of L'Occitane scents because L'Occitane prides themselves on their natural organic products made from essential oils that don't have a lot of preservatives in them, so if you buy their frags you should expect to reapply throughout the day. Their frags are typically very pretty, light & feminine with a provincial French feel. ' 'Sheer', is what I would describe the collection as. Overall not astounding or unique, it is blackberry with a few light florals. Reminds me slightly also of the CK Euphoria blossom or Forbidden Euphoria but not tacky & artificial smelling like CK. Overall give it a 6.5-7 out of 10. Quite like it. Anyhow check my other L'Occitane reviews, I know this product is hard to come by in other countries. But over here in New Zealand we have L'Occitane stores all over my city so I am familiar with their range & can help you out. By the way, it isn't noted in here but the collection de grasse includes Iris bleu et blanc, Jasmin et bergamote (which I also have), néroli et orchidée (got it), mer et mistral (men's), fleur d'Or et acacia (got it), cèdre et oranger (men's), thé vert et bigarade, and vanille et narcisse which I have yet to try. Oh and ambre et santal. The collection has expanded since this frag was released. I got my l'occitane frags in a giftset on sale. l'occitane is a very subtle brand with fragrances that smell like they should i.e. essential oils & naturals- they're very clean and light.

Magnolia & Mure is my favourite out of La Collection de Grasse. It's a berry bomb, but it's so lovely and the best thing: it's not cloying (SCORE!) at all. I sampled this quite a while back and I remember thinking that it's such a lovely smell...probably my favourite L'Occitane perfume out of the many I've had and/or sampled. It's like a lovely combination of blackberry gelée and bitter flowers. The scent is all kinds of sweet, sour and bitter, yet all of the notes mix beautifully. Also, to me, it smells really yummy! I'm past my gourmand days but this one wins my heart. Sourness is just nice--it's not acrimonious at all. It's definitely berry, though, so if you're not into berries maybe you can consider steering clear of this one. Overall, this is a very lovely and well-structured fragrance. I've always wanted to buy this one but I haven't gotten around to it. It's definitely a good addition to a girl's summer collection, though, and it also works in colder weather, so it's really worth considering to buy. Rating: 8/10

I quite like this fragrance. It does what it says on the box. First spray is a gorgeous blackberry. And I don't like berries in fragrances (although it's mostly red berries I don't agree with). But this is just so refreshing and mouthwatering! A hint of bergamot adds to the sensation and then 10 minutes later the tart juicy fruits dy down to a whisper and I'm left with a patchouli tinged rose which reminds me a bit of Coco Mademoiselle. Then out comes the magnolia, offering a slightly woody aroma to the composition and then the berries are back again! Not tart and juicy this time, but humming a soft tune, while mingeling with the magnolia and the beautifully green patchouli. It is lovely and romantic, suited for late spring and early fall. Nothing ground breaking, for sure, but simply pretty.

This round fragrance with a light touch of fresh citrus has got a depth, which captivates attention. There is an atmospheric feeling of spring wind in it - and no artificial sweetness. Despite magnolia is not a note i'm searching for, i couldn't resist this well-structured and delicate composition. The longevity of this fragrance is quite good. In summer it lasts about 4 hours on warm skin, staying close to the owner. In colder season it will be less, i think. In Lithuania this collection is also available in 7.5 ml, which is wise for introducing a new fragrance.

A very nice berry fragrance. I love that it doesn't smell synthetic at all because berry perfumes often have a tendency to smell like cough medicine. The perfume is a bit on the fresh side, but it's not weak at all, it's actually a fairly intense, slightly creamy scent. I definitely smell the bergamot, which makes it a tad tangy, but not overly so. I think it's a must-try for people who love berry perfumes.

When i first bought this, it smelled like more magnolia and now all i smell is blackberry. What happened to you, my dear? Didn't i keep you in your box in a dark, cold place? Why did you change and became a fruity air freshener? You also make the air smell, not me! Dear people, As long as you take a shower with magnolia&mure you can not smell it besides it's not cheap so save your money for another perfume.

Tested this today. This is a fruity floral scent. The blackberries are very pronounced while there is a light blanket of magnolia over these berries. This fragrance is definitely a crowd pleaser. The juiciness of the berries help to lighten the occasional bitter, dull edge to the magnolia. I will be going back to test it a few more times cause it might be a worthy addition to my collection. Till then.

i ended up buying this instead of fleur d'or....... it smells a bit bitter and sour and unpleasant periodically until 3 minutes.. that bitter smell reminds me of my high school friend's sweaty armpits and she sprayed perfume on that area every hour and it gave me headache, lol. i hope i can like this fragrance soon..

Nice and light blackberry and roses fragrances, but my hopes on natural magnolia were failed. Anyway it's pretty.

I got a small bottle of this (about 8ml) and a scented moisturiser as part of a gift set. It is a pretty linear scent, with no surprises or complexity. Fruit, floral and patchouli. I'm not sure I'd have guessed it was blackberry as I don't find the fruit smell tart enough - it is quite a sweet fragrance. It is nice, but nothing special for me. There are so many berry, floral, patchouli perfumes that this just seems unexciting, and it has no unique selling qualities to set it apart from its million and one competitors. Nonetheless, it was nicer than I thought, and certainly has a smoother patchouli than lots of other perfumes; it is quite refined. Not for me, though - I won't be finishing it, and I can't see it as a signature scent. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if l'Occitane discontinued it after the summer. Alone, the EDT dies down quite quickly and the longevity is around 4-5 hours on me. Layered with the moisturiser, it lasted several hours longer. Good for: some breezy, summer joie de vivre.

Nice and I say nice-smelling. Nota stink, actually something not offensive and easy to wear to smell just generic nice. I cannot think of any term other than "nice". Of course, there are a lot of terms, but they don't apply here. This smells so fruity generic in the opening. Blackberry? Mmm... maybe the plastic one. Is it a nice opening? Yes, it is nice. After the tamed fruity blast, this perfume go on with a life on its own while you do ther things and forget about. Thne you happen to smell something while you move your hands close to your face and think: "Oh, wait, did I put any scent today? At the mall? Was it this or that? Ah, ok, maybe I remember, it was the new one from L'Occitane, yes, because I was at L'Occitane or was something in Sephora?" SO you remember about and you think that you smell like nice fruity shampoo with some interesting notes of a spiced magnolia. Nothing remarkable here but nice. Longlasting on skin.

As a devoted lover of blackberry/cassis, when I am able to find a fragrance that successfully combines this beautiful fruit with other lovely ingredients, I'm sold! L'Occitane is known for its natural smelling and somewhat pricey fragrances that tend to be soft but long wearing as well. Magnolia and Mure is no exception and where I loved Amethyst by Lalique for its sparkling berry accord, I found the tomato leaf to be somewhat harsh and ultimately all I smelled at drydown. Magnolia and Mure persists with a gorgeous blend of flower, fruit and warmth that has made it one of my favorite perfumes when I need to feel fragrantly comforted.

A careless summer scent. It's quite sour and a tiny bit bitter on my skin. At the beginning, the blackberry is really realistic ant dominant, while the magnolia is shy and you have to concentrate to smell it (but it's there, without any doubt). After a while the magnolia becomes stronger and together with the blackberry it creates creamy, fruity scent. An expensive lipstick could smell like this. By the way, this should be applied carefully. It can be too strong and nauseating if overdosed. The longevity is amazing. But I won't purchase a full bottle.

My dearest sister. My automatic best friend from birth. The one who knew my soul. I lost her to suicide 8 weeks ago and I’ll never be the same again. So lost and broken. We were raised on perfume. All of us having and knowing each others scent like the back of our hands. This was hers. I paid for a full bottle so I’d have this to put on when I can’t stand her absence a second longer. It’s my biggest comfort now. I just wish it was her wearing it. My peeps, talk about mental health. 💚

I can't recommend it, I got a sample and it smells soooo light, so delicate, it is like wearing nothing at all. I cannot believe the other reviewers found it longlasting!!! The reviews on the French site also complaint on how light this is!!! Even the sales rep at Occitane had commented to me it was too light. Oh well.

A black currant blast which disappears after a few hours. A touch of bitterness in the dry-down. Bright, sweet simple, and celebratory, but longevity is terrible. I'd rather wear Enchanted Forest for my black currant fix. My nose now presumes a currant/fir combo whether it's present or not.

I love this. It develops into a jammy scent that is sweet but not sugary. I only have a small .25 oz bottle but I'd love more! To me it really smells like real blackberry juice (if you had very ripe blackberries).

It reminds me a lot of Jo Malones Blackberry and Bay perfume, however, this is more fruity and a little more citrus with the lime. For longevity and lasting power, I would choose this over the Jo Malone
