photo of my magnolia tree
Magnolias make a statement . 
Seriously , if you have never been up close , standing under a 30 foot tree covered in blossoms , why honey chile you ain't experienced the south .
Magnolias are large , waxy , sexy , and did I say large ? Thick fleshy petals of the most otherworldly white....the tree in our yard is quite fragrant too .
As most of us know , magnolia oil is not distillled , it must be re-created using other things that approximate the smell of magnolias .
Dupetit has created a Magnolia accord befitting such a dynamic , fully present flower as the magnolia .
And , I don't care for it .
It's true . We can't love everything and this one is not for me . It is penetrating but soft , and true to what my magnolias smell like , just too much of it .
notes :
orange and lemon , jasmine , tuberose , ylang-ylang , neroli , vanilla , violet , rose , benzoin , copaiba absolute
Eau de Dupetit - the one that carries the name of the house...it must be difficult to choose a fragrance that will carry your name .
On first sniff this is masculine and traditionally chic . The grapefruit is most prominent , suggestably naughty , but not too -too...the spices are milder than expected , the juniper /pepper hold a tight balance ! It's a well thought out cologne that's not sweet .
notes
orange , lemon , mandarin , grapefruit , spices , juniper , tuberose , pepper
Tomorrow - my two favorites , then Dupetit answers some questions .
Cannabis ?
Magic Forest...?

Looking forward to reading the reviews of your two favorites!
I have never smelt a real magnolia flower, so I can't imagine how it smells like, but I usually like fragrances which contain the magnolia note.
one of my faves is the Chypre....oops I can't hold back anymore !
