Latest Reviews of Magnolia Grandiflora Michel
Citrus blends uncomfortably here with the white floral top note. It start out bright and floral-soapy projects strongly, but it's not pleasant to my nose. There is a darker note under this that become more intense during dry down. Possibly sandalwood, more likely patchouli (which I tend to dislike so this may be just a personal bias).
Lovely Magnolias are available from Malle's Eau de Magnolia as noted above; if you can find it, Fueguia Aqua Magnolia is a very classy, subtle long-lasting scent that is made from Amazonian Magnolia, and is true to scent of the flower.

l can say that this one definitely does not smell like magnolia. lt smells like jasmine & ylang ylang, with just a little rose filling out the background. For the first ninety minutes, it's an unexciting & rather generic floral, until the citrus note finally arrives. Later on there's a touch of green from the vetiver, & then at around the six hour mark it closely resembles its sister scent, Sandrine, as a similarly woody, citrussy white floral. There's more vanillic sweetness in the base of this one though, & it has similar lasting power at around ten hours, with somewhat less projection.
lf l had to choose between Michel & Sandrine, Sandrine would definitely win. lt gets into its stride much earlier, & doesn't try to fool one into thinking that jasmine smells like magnolia. Malle's Eau de Magnolia is far superior to both, though, because the wonderfully fresh, lemony floral accord lasts from beginning to end.
