Magnolia

The soft rustle of leaves on a warm afternoon, where the scent of magnolia mingles with the sweetness of honey and a hint of musk.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Santa Maria Novella, Magnolia is a floral fragrance for women that captures the essence of a warm, sunlit day. The scent opens with bright citrus notes, creating an immediate freshness and brightness. This gives way to a heart of white florals, which blend seamlessly into a base of honey and subtle animalic undertones, adding depth and warmth. Magnolia is a composition that balances lightness and richness, making it both uplifting and enveloping.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points in the morning for optimal longevity. The citrus top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply as needed throughout the day to maintain the floral-honey warmth.
