Yardley London Magnolia is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1970. Magnolia settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Magnolia, and Lily. Yardley London's Magnolia carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandma's magnolia, unless your grandma was a trailblazer. It's a fresh, green take on the classic white floral that's almost universally loved for its natural brightness, though some find it a bit too raw or fleeting for their tastes.

About

Imagine a magnolia blossom caught just as it unfurls, dewy and green. This isn't a creamy, sweet floral; instead, it's a vibrant, almost sappy scent with a cool, fresh edge. Hyacinth adds a crisp, aquatic greenness, while the lily contributes a clean, bright floral lift, all balancing to evoke a garden on a fresh spring morning.
