White Magnolia

The crisp aroma of freshly cut magnolias mingled with the subtle warmth of an Italian study, where sunlight filters through sheer curtains and creates a serene yet engaging atmosphere.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 by Etro and crafted by perfumer Olivier Cresp, White Magnolia is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of modern elegance. The composition begins with a fresh citrus burst from bergamot and citruses, which contrasts beautifully against the soft floral notes of magnolia and hellebore flower. As it settles into a base of cedar, amber, musk, and white woods, White Magnolia transitions from a bright morning to a warm evening embrace.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points — it blooms fully within an hour. This fragrance is best for daytime or early evening wear as its fresh spicy notes can feel too lively in the late night hours.
