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.

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.
