It's always interesting to see how differently perfumes play out on different people's skin and according to their nose. To me, HERVE LEGER FEMME is a floriental with a very strong benzoin presence. It opens smoothly and deliciously and dries down almost as a light benzoin skin scent with a touch of woodiness. I do not detect magnolia at all, to be honest.
Anyone who loves benzoin will surely like this composition. It has a seductive quality which is at once simple yet appealing, like the glimmer of shiny brass candlestick. I am not sure that I need to acquire a full bottle of HERVE LEGER FEMME, since I already have some good benzoin-centric perfumes, but I have enjoyed wearing this sample.
