Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella Magnolia (2023) is a Cologne launched in 2023. Magnolia (2023) opens with Rose and Geranium, settles into a heart of Jasmin Sambac, Magnolia, and Champaca, and dries down to a base of Musk and Amber. Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella's Magnolia (2023) carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a divisive take on magnolia: some find it a breathtakingly realistic floral capturing spring in a bottle, while others are disappointed by its perceived artificiality or lack of complexity. Expect a delicate, feminine floral that's either pure magic or just 'nice'.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Jasmine Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract from Jasmin Sambac
  • Jasmine Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract from Jasmin Sambac
  • Jasmine Jasminum Grandiflorum Flower Extract from Jasmin Sambac

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a fresh burst of dewy rose and green geranium, immediately evoking a lush garden. The heart blooms into a creamy, ethereal magnolia, joined by exotic champaca and sweet jasmine sambac, creating a rich white floral bouquet. A soft, clean musk and warm amber base gently anchor the blossoms, giving it a subtle, comforting depth that lingers delicately.
