The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 and crafted by Anne Flipo, Star Magnolia by Jo Malone London is a fragrance that marries bright citrus with the delicate floral notes of magnolia. The opening burst of lemon and ginger brings an invigorating freshness, while shiso adds a subtle green complexity. As the composition settles, neroli and magnolia create a soft, elegant heart, before amber and cedar provide a warm, grounding base. Star Magnolia is a harmonious blend that captures the essence of nature's beauty.
Apply one to two sprays for optimal wear. The citrus and spicy notes are vibrant but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want that initial burst throughout the day. The floral and woody base lasts longer and is best experienced close to the skin.
