magnolia

Magnolia, a fragrant flower native to Asia and the Americas, has long been a beloved ingredient in perfumery. Its delicate, fresh and slightly citrusy scent notes emanate a natural sweetness that invokes a sense of purity and elegance.

As a top note, magnolia adds a bright and uplifting aspect to a fragrance, while as a middle note, it infuses a rich floral bouquet that creates a depth and complexity. The flower’s essential oil, extracted through steam distillation of its fresh petals, has therapeutic properties that soothe and calm the mind and lift the spirits.

Thanks to its exquisite aroma profile, magnolia continues to be a popular choice among perfumers for creating a range of olfactory experiences, from fresh and clean to sophisticated and sensual. Whether used as a key or supporting ingredient, magnolia lends a distinctive touch to a perfume that evokes a timeless glamour and femininity.
