Magnolia Bliss

A: This perfume reminds me of Jo Malone's Nectarine Blossom & Honey, which isn't really my thing. It has decent staying power and a moderate sillage. I applied it a few hours ago, and I can still catch whiff of it. The scent seems sharp to me, but it doesn't hit magnolia at all.

The perfume has a scent I love, but it might not be worth buying. The nectarine floral blend is sweet and warm, light and fresh—very different from other modern fruity-floral scents in a good way. If someone doesn't like strong floral smells, this could be their go-to. I tried it on as a sample. After about an hour, I was ready to buy a bottle, but I'm glad I didn't. The scent is lovely, but the longevity isn't great. It only lasts maybe two hours before fading away. Some perfumes become stronger on the skin over time, but this one starts to fade quickly—just one good hour of strong projection before it disappears. Comparing it to other perfumes I own, even if it had better longevity, it wouldn't be worth the price. The Dossier version of Nectarine Blossom & Honey is a good dupe—it's slightly sweeter and lacks some warmth compared to the original. I prefer Magnolia Bliss, but for performance and affordability, the Dossier version is a better choice.

The perfume has a strong soap-like fragrance. Three different people have commented on its soap-like scent with me today. It has prominent floral notes with subtle citrus undertones. However, when I apply it, it settles into a consistent scent on my skin.

This perfume has a scent that reminds me of public restrooms, which is akin to a low-cost air freshener.

This scent has a zesty mix of citrus and green fruits, like jujubee—though I might be mixing up the name. There's just a touch of floral undertones here, but the citrus really stands out. It's interesting, but it doesn't quite click with me.
