Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Curious Eau de Parfum
This is a clean, fresh white floral that's either a pleasant, inoffensive everyday spritz or an alcohol-laden air freshener, depending on who you ask. It's a proper throw-on and go, though probably better suited for younger wearers.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Magnolia Eau de Parfum
A divisive yet beloved vintage icon, Yves Rocher Magnolia is a clean, sharp white floral that evokes serious nostalgia, often compared to a cleaner Anais Anais. It's a proper old-school scent, some find it dated, others say it's pure class.

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its fresh, inoffensive nature makes it suitable for casual wear and even the office, as many reviews suggest. However, the light projection and body mist format mean it's less ideal for formal settings or a date where more impact is desired.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

With moderate sillage and good longevity, Magnolia can be adaptable. Its 'clean' and 'soapy' character makes it suitable for office wear, while the classic white floral heart lends itself to casual and even some formal settings. However, its vintage feel might limit its appeal for modern dates.
