Pétales de Magnolia by Houbigant is a delicate floral creation launched in 2024 and crafted by perfumer Céline Ellena. The fragrance opens with the bright, crisp notes of Nashi pear and pomelo, evoking the freshness of early morning dew. Peppermint adds a subtle coolness that contrasts beautifully with the warmth of magnolia at its heart. Dried apricot and coconut blossom lend a sweet, powdery depth to the composition, while musk, sandalwood, and tonka bean anchor it in a soft, enveloping base. This fragrance is an ode to the lasting elegance for which Houbigant has been renowned since 1775.
