A flowery-sweet creamy commi, just for you ungrateful pack :D
Hey hey everybody! I hope as always that you missed me and that you have eagerly awaited me here! Because... as Peter Venkman (played by Bill Murray) in Ghostbusters already said: "I am a man! I have the need to be desired and loved!" ... or something like that :D

Hey hey, well, I guess it's probably just that you didn't wait for me, but for my commissioners *seeeeeeufz like mean*... I should be offended now, but I'm just too nice to you heartless ladies :DD

All right, today is about Bvlgari's Splendida - Magnolia Sensuel. Since Bvlgari has many different scents in his repertoire, which sometimes smell bad, but also super, you can't say in advance what you could expect. The best you can do is see if you like the scents. For example, I see mandarins standing there, which I always find very great, because mandarins not only taste good, but also smell really good. Only disadvantage: In my opinion the scent of a mandarin is somehow very feminine, so I have no mandarin scents here with me *sigh* I find the scent "Eau de Mandarine Ambrée" so great... bah, so many beautiful things there are of course only for you women, tss...

Anyway, I can still test all these great scents and introduce them to you here, because... you want to see my comments more than me anyway, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah... mean! ... I should be mean too... have you ever thought that all fragrance descriptions in my comments could be totally wrong? Mu ha ha ha ha ha :DDD

The fragrance:
The fragrance begins citric and floral. I smell oranges in the citric scents, but it could also be the mandarins, but it seemed a little more orange to me. The flowery notes are quite sweet and also very intense, so I classify them with magnolias and jasmine, because the sweetness smells more like the sweetness of jasmine.
Neroli soon comes along and gives off its slightly orange-floral scent, while the oranges themselves are getting weaker again.
A little later, the fragrance still smells flowery and sweet, but now also soft and almost creamy. Now the oranges, which are a bit weak in the meantime, actually look like beautiful and tasty mandarins, especially because of the sweetness of the fragrance.
At the end, the fragrance remains floral and sweet, while at the end the sweetness comes from the vanilla, as so often more, and the fragrance becomes or remains soft. And with a hint of fruity notes in the background, the fragrance also looks nice and creamy. All in all this Bvlgari is for me one of the most beautiful fragrances of this brand.

The Sillage and the shelf life:
The Sillage isn't bad. It is not the best, but also not the weakest and is therefore completely sufficient to be perceived well for a while. I found the shelf life quite good with over ten hours.

The bottle:
The wine-red bottle is rectangular, but has a steep upward slant at the front, making it look like a lipstick, especially due to its red colour. The neck has a gold-plated lid which, together with the cylindrical neck, looks like an antique column. There is no label, but that would have only disturbed it otherwise, because the bottle looks very beautiful as it is.

So, I wrote at the beginning that Bvlgari had both good and bad scents. This Splendida here belongs in any case to the very good scents of this brand, because it smells very beautiful and feminine. It smells sweet and flowery and has for a while a light, but not too playful, fruity touch, which is also quite tasty and could also please those who don't like fruity scents, because I wouldn't call the scent really fruity here despite the tangerine note, but flowery-sweet and creamy.

Due to his nice charisma he has become a very suitable scent for me, especially for going out, which could then be used for all occasions. It is also an autumnal fragrance that could perhaps be worn on cool spring days. As I said, the fragrance is very beautiful and therefore worth a test.

Well, that's that, then. Then until my next... scribble... aaargh! Have a nice rest holiday and see you then :)

Poison Ivy very tame
"Magnolia Sensuel" keeps what his name promises. A watery-intimate magnolia breath, somewhere between Venus flytrap and hammock, between Thailand and Paris, between meditation and bed gymnastics.

Cavallier-Belletrud knows how aquatics go. And this floral spring snapper proves this once more. Grandiosely composed, tender and yet strong-willed. Clearly feminine and somewhat exotic. Always erotic, too. You have to tame the often aggressive orange blossom first, you have to bring the (often used) watery chords so far away from the mainstream, you have to put the vanilla sweetness so soft and transparent and light over everything. Magnolia magic. One of the best "pond and meadow fragrances".

Flacon: colour fits, workmanship too. Everything is right and as always with Bulgari 1A!
Sillage: at the border too bulky - but then somehow light and airy. Class!
Shelf life: sufficient 6 hours - at temperatures that cause perspiration.

Conclusion: sensual and sexy, relaxed and relaxed - "Magnolia Sensuel" is perhaps the juiciest and finest magnolia you can find in the designer area. Thick, but never pushy or too heavy. Unless you're stuck to the spray head. Tip top!

Hesperide soul under a magnolia mask
Why is this perfume only called Magnolia Splendida? Not only that all the magnolias I have ever smelled smell like nothing at all, but also the magnolias perfumes I know, for example Magnolia Romana smell completely in another direction - namely in the direction of light, fresh flowery, greenish, aquatic. So the name confuses.

"Magnolia Splendida is not magnolia. Yes, the perfume smells somewhat fresh but hesperide-fresh: Neroli in particular is strongly present throughout. Yes, the perfume smells like flowers, but more like orange blossoms and jasmine than magnolia. You can feel a hint of vanilla and, of course, mochus. From Patchouli no trace.

The whole thing is very feminine, impressive, rather festive, well wearable in winter and summer and would be quite satisfying if it weren't for the bad performance:

The fragrance begins with fanfare-very intense, with a good sillage and ends gloriously. Very soon, already within the first hour, the smell becomes quieter and quieter and to the Skinscent, to the breath until it evaporates then within maximally 4 hours completely.

The bottle is pretty, although a bit unwieldy, and can be easily seen.

Conclusion: a sympathetic, feminine, sweet-sour-floral Hesperide fragrance with an unsatisfactory performance. Not a buyer for me.

Light and soft Magnolia
This one is a very soft and feminin scent , where the white flowers notes are the main Actors , although the result is very light and soft and not at all intense . I ask : where's the sensuality? the base notes aren't noticeable and the warmth you could expect from a perfume with this name does not exist.The high price is justified only by the elegant and precious bottle.
