Magnolia & Pivoine de Soie

Fragrance description

Spring is my favorite time of year. After winter, everything comes to life, flowers bloom, and there's something in the air that you don't find at any other time of year. Peony and magnolia are blossoming during Spring time and their delicate petals are like beautiful and soft women's skin.

The silky duo of peony and magnolia makes up the story of this delightful fragrance, but the main players are the charming roses from Turkey and Bulgaria, mixed with the Moroccan Orange blossom and magnolia. It is important to know that the natural smell of peony cannot be extracted from peony flowers, so it must be synthetic. The opening is brightened by a hint of citrus (mandarin, bergamot) but it doesn't really out beat the florals, which are rounded out by davana from India (probably mixed with patchouli), which adds a slightly herbaceous feel and depth.

I also smell a hint of blackcurrant, which is not found in the list of notes. The scent is very smooth, floral and slightly sweet thanks to the honey sweetened vanilla on a base of vetiver and musk. So sensual! For me it is very feminine, so I prefer to smell it on my wife than on myself, but remember, you can wear what you want.
