Beautiful Magnolia
Beautiful Magnolia by Estée Lauder is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2021 in the designer price tier. It opens with lotus, moves into magnolia, gardenia and rose and dries down to musk, sandalwood and cedarwood. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lotus Pale, watery flower. Delicate and slightly powdery.
Heart
- Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
- Gardenia Creamy white floral with a mushroomy edge. Lush and old-Hollywood.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
