About

Pink magnolia is the pink-flowered magnolia blossom. It reads sweeter, rounder and more powdery than the published magnolia note, which leads with lemon and green. Creative Formulas describes it as a very sweet, intensely floral, powdery pink magnolia blossom with rose, geranium, jasmine and grapefruit undertones. Pairfum contrasts it against white magnolia by name: white is 'fresh, citrusy' and daytime, pink is 'a slightly sweeter, richer floral scent'.

Scent Profile

Pink Magnolia smells very sweet and intensely floral, with rose and geranium undertones. A jasmine, white floral note confirms it is still a magnolia blossom. A powdery texture sets it apart from the plainer parent note, richer and sweeter than white magnolia. A slightly fruity brightness runs through it, and a creamy softness lingers underneath.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

Most plausibly Magnolia liliiflora or Magnolia x soulangeana, the saucer or tulip magnolia sold as the pink-flowered one, but no source found states the species. The trade products found are compounded: Creative Formulas lists a 'Pink Magnolia Base' as a fragrance-base SKU, and Collage with Nature sells it as a natural perfume essence. No manufacturer olfactive description was found.

Usage in Perfumery

Parfumo records 9 perfumes across 8 brands. Creative Formulas places it as 'a top to middle note with good volume and tenacity'. Collage with Nature places it as 'a soft yet vibrant top note'. It is used where magnolia is wanted romantic and evening-weighted rather than bright and daytime.
