The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

VIII Rococo Magnolia by Clive Christian was launched in 2017, designed to capture the essence of refined elegance and lasting beauty. Perfumer Angela Stavrevska crafts a composition where magnolia takes center stage, surrounded by the bright freshness of citrus and the warmth of spices like cloves and cinnamon. The fragrance opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, bringing a radiant brightness that contrasts beautifully with the rich, woody base of oakmoss and sandalwood.

How to wear it

One or two sprays on pulse points allow this fragrance to unfold gradually. The citrus top notes are fleeting but vibrant, making way for the heart of magnolia and rose, which blooms over time. Best worn in cooler weather when its warm, woody base can fully envelop you.
