Houbigant Pétales de Magnolia is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Céline Ellena. Pétales de Magnolia opens with Pomelo, Nashi Pear, and Mint, settles into a heart of Coconut Blossom, Magnolia, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Houbigant's Pétales de Magnolia carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This Houbigant creation is a fresh, fruity magnolia that's largely a crowd-pleaser, though some found it a bit too straightforward. If you're after a clean, well-groomed floral with a delicate touch, this is definitely one to sniff out, even if it won't break any new ground.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Pétales de Magnolia opens with a bright, juicy burst of nashi pear and pomelo, with just a hint of mint offering a subtle green lift. The heart unfurls into a delicate magnolia, softened by the sweet, sun-kissed aroma of apricot and a whisper of creamy coconut blossom. It all settles into a musky, warm embrace of sandalwood and tonka bean, leaving a clean yet inviting trail.
