Estée Lauder Beautiful Magnolia Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Beautiful Magnolia Intense opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Iris, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Vanilla. Estée Lauder's Beautiful Magnolia Intense carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

A divisive scent for the iris-averse, but a sophisticated, grown-up gem for those who appreciate a powdery, clean floral with a subtle edge. It's a 'love it or hate it' situation, primarily due to its prominent, almost waxy iris accord.

Its moderate sillage and powdery floral nature make it suitable for office wear, as it's unlikely to offend. While elegant, its subtle projection means it won't dominate a formal event, and its lack of freshness makes it unsuitable for sport.

About

Opens with an intriguing, powdery iris that many liken to vintage lipstick, edged with a subtle hint of green violet leaf and bright mandarin. The heart blossoms with creamy magnolia, underpinned by clean, earthy patchouli. As it dries, a soft leather and warm musk emerge, grounding the floral sweetness with a sophisticated, woody base of cedar and vanilla. Many find the iris fades too quickly, leaving a clean, musky floral trail.
