Magnolia Bloom For Women

Magnolia Bloom opens on a juicy dewberry and milky coconut accord that mirrors the bright, creamy lift of Gucci's original. The heart blooms into soft magnolia and jasmine sambac, with a touch of clary sage keeping it from turning cloying. Where Flora Gorgeous Magnolia stays airy and sophisticated, this version leans a little sweeter and simpler, the coconut more candied and the florals less nuanced. A clean musk, light patchouli and blonde woods base gives a tidy, skin-close drydown. It is a pretty, easy-to-wear floral that suits daytime, office and casual outings, but like the Gucci it sits close to the skin and longevity is modest at three to five hours - a touch shorter than the original. A flattering everyday floral for anyone who loved the Gucci but balked at the price.
