Magnolia

Just bought it , at first spritz it was a bit sharp & reminded me of Anais Anais which I don't like at all !! but it setteled into something really "cleaner" as most people here would describe it... Very strong magnolia plus lots of oakmoss & no apples or vanilla at all ...Old school floral without any sweetness ..I love a bit of sweetness with my florals ,but this is a nice addition to my collection anyway , as it's so different from what we have now ...The bottle is sooooooo beautiful white ceramic & very well made ...I love a beautiful bottle can't deny Update : I have tried it again and think I am really loving it , very unique :) Another update : Loving it for the Summer (I live in a warm country ) clean , refreshing and still elegant ..MUCH better than Anais Anasis by Cacharel which I never loved its animalic notes ....and I got a spray deo made local under license from the parent company , can't be happier :) Another update : I have moved this beauty to my "love" shelf , but sadly it longevity and sillage are hardly moderate...Still a unique beauty that I cannot find anything like it ...

This was my grand mother's daily fragrance for a while,she gifted me a bottle which I liked very much because this small cute simple white bottle,reminded me my kind lovely granny I always smelled it over the bottle but never thaught of wearing it personaly,I believed this is too old for me Once I decided to spray it on my skin,just to feel I'm still a kid..I was surprised to see how nice it is and how much I like it It's not too old,not harsh and cloying like some old white floral scents,all I can get is a lovely sweet magnolia,lily and a soft creamy mix of other florals,it's powdery and milky the same time with a very nostalgic feeling which dries down to a woody musky base,a little soapy and not as gorgeous as first hours which was a soft and delicious magnolia cream,but still wearable and likable It has great longevity and very good sillage without becoming overpowering I'm going to wear this clean,innocent white scent more during spring days

Im loving rediscovering vintage gems at the moment and just rediscovered this beauty thanks to fragrantica and the fab reviews here! I was a little too young to appreciate it in its hayday but I remember my mum owned lots of the lighter smelling Yves Rocher fragrances when I was young and she always smelled so lovely...like a light clean breeze of freshly washed skin it reminds me so much of her - I'm sure she probably owned this one at some point. Its a deliciously clean smelling creamy white floral, very feminine, great for everyday wear and hubby approves too! Bagged a bargain at a local charity shop for a 100ml bottle (almost full and smells perfect still!) I am so lucky to have found this by chance after reading the reviews here, I am totally over the moon and the bottle looks so simple, classic and classy! Love it!

Well, Sherihan I do not know a perfume exactly the same as this one, but it is a 'cleaner' version of the perfume Anais Anais in the vintage formulation. It is like they cleaned AA from the animalic notes that went on too strong. Then you have somekind of Magnolia. Magnolia is an extremely complex perfume that you wear like an aura, you cannot always see it, but it really imprints your mood and spirit!

It was my lovely Aysu that gifted me a big bottle of this perfume. I have been treasuring it ever since. I was able to buy one bottle of this gem later on and decided to offer that 2nd bottle to my sweetheart Persephone. It is like liquid gold to me, it is sheer heaven and one of the most beautiful perfumes ever. Thank you Aysu, your gift stayes with me always. Love, Action

I bought Magnolia when it came out in the 80's. My first love (talking of parfumes now ;) The clean, fresch flowers, the oakmoss that gives depth. A hint of wood. Nothing heavy or sweet. Looking back- this is the fragrance that set my referenses! Still a favorite... Got a mini- but longing to find a big bottle I can use whenever I want to.

Wow! This was my very first perfume and first purchase from Yves Rocher back in 1983 or 1984. I was still in elementary grade school. I have great memories of owning this scent. All these years I could remember the white bottle, the light soft scent, but I couldn't remember the name. Nothing but happy memories.

This scent is the one of the scents of my youth. My mother used to wear this, and she gave me a bottle as as a present. The Yves Rocher shops nowadays don't sell it anymore. I only have a very small bottle left (a miniature) and I savour it (i.e. smell it one in a while, never use it).

Magnolia reminds me of my most favourite fragrance Anais Anais, and feels almost the same, as in everytime i wore them, they made me feel like an Alabaster Greek Goddess in a crisp, gossamer white flowing gown with a bit of green gauze lattice-work. romance of Gods according to me :)

I remember this perfume cause it was my mothers signature scent for many years. I loved it. A fresh feminine unique scent. I have tried to find something similair but havent! I really really whish that yves rocher would produce it again =(

Oh, my first perfume as a teenager in the 80s. I loved that one. I still have a weakness for magnolia in perfumes. Wish I could find a bottle today for sentimental reasons.

In the 90's it was one of most popular perfumes.Floral,fresh,green,feminine...like the wind of the spring.I don't think it was a sweet scent.Very pleasant...

Thanks to Aysu I now finally have a larger bottle, the 60 ml! SO, Persephone, whenever you want to try out my 15 ml bottle, let me know!! Action

This was a lovely scent - I wish they still made it. It was soft, feminine and seductive without being overly anything.

Another true Yves Rocher vintage... They have so many beautiful ones.. This one is actually quite green!

To me, Magnolia is the master of the lost treasures, the Goddess of discontinued loved scents.

This is the very first perfume I wore! (Wearing my mother's L'Air du temps on special days in my childhood doesn't count!) At my sixteenth birthday my big sister offered me a bottle of this and a bottle of rosé de Provence (!) as I was about to go to France for the first time. I always kept my precious bottle. (The perfume, not the wine!) This was a lovely choice she made for me. This is the smell of innocence. The scent I wore as I kissed my first boyfriend and became a woman. To me it also captures the innocence of that era, the late 80's, where the world was socially so naïve and optimistic compared to the world we now live in... Very white, soft, floral, tender, sweet, nostalgic smell.

Pretty, nice, charming, feminine - these are the kind of words that spring to mind here. It's the usual good-quality, well-crafted old style Rocher fragrance. I don't get much of particular notes, just a well-composed melange of white flowers, with maybe the jasmine slightly dominating. The drydown is mostly musk to me. No oakmoss, that's for sure. The longevity is quite poor on me which is a surprise for a Yves Rocher composition. Usually the lasting power is spectacular from this house. Sillage is moderate. You can see why these fragrances are no longer made. The presentation is irretrievably dated and mumsy. However, the juice is of high quality.

I own a small bottle from back in time. It was perhaps a gift from a neighbour and at first I was not so happy about it because the bottle reminded me of Cacharel Anais Anais which I could not stand since the beginning. Silly girl I was! This one smells clean, simple and a good magnolia rendition, still perfumey but lovely and utterly feminine and got no pungent smell like Anais Anais that was so widespread around. Old Yves Rocher Magnolia is relaxed yet knowing. It is the smell of a feminine clean charme, but it is a dated scent. Not a bad thing in itself, rather nostalgic of times when women still smelled like flowers and not like bubble-gum.

It's a very clean, fresh floral scent. Definitely smells like something more popular in the 90's, and definitely reminiscent of the stuff my mom used to put on me when I was 4 (after all, scent is the strongest sense tied to memory). Obviously, the strongest note in here is the magnolia. I do get some of the lily, tuberose, and jasmine... but it all mixes together to form this 90's era-like scent, if that makes any sense at all. Personally, I love it. I love clean soapy scents. It's something I'd splash on right after a shower on a warm day.
