Magnolia who are you

I wanted to know about the magnolia. I don't know if the tart plummy note is magnolia? or magnolia mixed with citrus notes often mentioned here in other comments. or spacey patchouli ? The scent is more rounded/ unobtrusive like I thought it would be. For some reason I imagined magnolia as a nostalgic non intrusive floral. Nostalgic the scent is not. But rather non-intrusive. For me, however, the pungent plummy note (or blend of notes) dominates. Sandalwood I perceive. Have probably still much to learn.

Too nobile

In my city, for any reason, there are many magnolia trees. I mean, they are not originary from here (i believe they come from North America) but is one flower i have had around forever. In summer we always had magnolia flowers at home, one single flower in one teacup or any wide short glass. The water of the cup, after a couple days, was so strongly magnolia scented that i was trying to keep it in bottles, but it was always rottening soon and you could only use it for some days...

I really like the scent of magnolia: though intense and persistent, it is softly floral, milky and lemony at the same time, little bit sour... so i always wanted to find a convincing magnolia perfume.

Magnolia Nobile, as it is the trademark of Aqua di Parma (who normally features local ingredients from the Emilia-Romagna city) starts very citric. The lemon is very refreshing and bright, but not blinding, i find it enjoyable. The magnolia note blooms almost immediately, a bit aldehydic and heady first. The general feeling is (in this first stage) more a flowery classic cologne than a soliflore. I find the magnolia in MN to be rather authenthic, with this tart emanation along with the soft aquaeous flower scent. As the brightness of the citrus fades the fragance becomes more the soliflore i was aiming for. Magnolia is adorned by the fruitier facet of the rose, almost strawberry tinged. I don´t detect jasmine, but it could contain hedione. The tuberose is very soft and never competes with the magnolia, in any case adds depth. A lemony whiff stays. So far, great.

After a couple hours warm notes of wood and earthy vetiver arise. The floral notes are kept (the magnolia persists heroically and with it, a bit more noticeable tuberose but not a shiny one, and a bit insecticide rose) Then, although is well blended gets boring, and, hmmm, dated. Magnolia Nobile, after the freshness is gone, turns heavier, too proper, a little dull and old-fashioned.

I guess it is classy. And noble. I don´t hate it, i do not madly love it either, so lets leave it in a tie.

Lemon and magnolia

I was beyond excited to try this fragrance. I almost dreamt about it.

Magnolia Nobile does indeed start out citrusy and alcoholic, however the more it settles on the skin the better it becomes.

The magnolia is obviously a dominant note in this composition, however the lemony finish tends to override it ever so slightly. I was disappointed that the rose and jasmine were not as prominent. The woodsy notes tend to be the main focus in the heart and drydown.

I was honestly enjoying this delightful, Summery take on magnolia until it suddenly transformed into a big, strong, bathroom air-freshner type scent. Please don't get me wrong, it's not terrible, it's just not to my personal tastes.

The scent is very feminine, just not very young or lively. For such an expensive price tag and a niche label, I really did expect something a little better, perhaps more floral and rich.

No stage for the Grand Dame

For some time now, I've been looking for a fragrance that honors the beautiful, delicate magnolia, that gives it the space its shy scent needs, that carries it. If a fragrance name promises exactly that, then Magnolia Nobile Eau de Parfum . Some reviews of the fragrance also read beautifully. And so I set out to test Magnolia Nobile Eau de Parfum.
Until now, I couldn't make friends with Acqua di Parma fragrances, the DNA was too strong and repetitive for me. But I wanted to encounter Magnolia Nobile.
So I sprayed on the perfume and, as expected, was overwhelmed by bergamot and citrus accords. Inhale, exhale, wait and see. The floral bouquet was already dancing in the background, which I searched for the magnolia. In the drydown, I saw the efforts of tuberose, jasmine and rose to push the magnolia forward, the efforts of sandalwood and vetiver to give it support, but finally, after an hour, everything collapsed. The fine flowers were buried under patchouli, the vanilla had already run away before its appearance and the bergamot grinned cheekily at me.
Almost painful for a magnolia lover like me.
I think with fewer antagonists, the fragrance could have been really great, but unfortunately it couldn't live up to its name.
