Splendida - Magnolia Sensuel Bvlgari 2018

Magnolia sensuelle is my latest discovery..
After years of consuming Coco Mademoiselle, it was time to try something new... The problem is, it's difficult to find something new that is just as good....(sillage and longevity).
I had never paid attention to the brand Bvlgari until now...until now!
In December, I browsed through the new releases and there it was...a potential purchase candidate :-)
According to the listing, everything I love...
The dry spell was long until I could finally test it...but the wait was worth it.
For me, it is a citrusy-woody-powdery all-rounder.
It is a somewhat more private scent...indeed sensual :-)
You have to come a bit closer...but then everyone asks what you smell like.
People perceive it as fresh, deliciously lemony, and incredibly pleasant.
It also reminds me of Allure Blanche by Chanel that my husband owns, but without being soapy.
Vanilla in this fragrance is also not sweet, which I find fantastic.
I have the feeling that the industry is launching sweeter fragrances all the time... At some point, we will choke on sugar shock :-)!
Not every woman has to smell sweet like the wearers of La Vie Est Belle...nor should the entire space take up an obnoxious amount of room..!
It can also be done with still, cooler elegance and a bit more privacy.
The scent also has good sillage (about 1m), lasts on the skin for a long time (about 8 hours for me), and becomes more intimate over time. (My perception)
In clothing, it is still noticeable after 3 days!
There is also development in the scent progression: Initially citrusy-woody (about 1-2 hours), then citrusy-creamy-powdery-vanilla for about 6 hours.
All in all, a great companion for women who know what they want!
