Winning Scent
Yes, it is my giveaway scent and it has won as well.
I had to wait a few days and, a bit hesitantly, I sprayed the glamorous magnolia. I don't usually like it too floral, but I was very pleasantly surprised.
The green notes leave a smile on my face.
FGM starts very dry, slightly bitter, with a paired sweetness of the freesia, which is subtle enough for me.
I confess that I don't really know the scent of magnolia. I do have one in my front yard, but since it is very young, it doesn't emit such a powerful magnolia scent in spring yet. According to some minor research, the scent of magnolia is simulated through artificial means. Essences of rose, jasmine, neroli, ylang-ylang, and synthetic aroma substances are used for imitation.

I find the further scent development fruity, and green still plays a good supporting role. I experience a tingling in my nose; something is happening here. Spring fizz?
FGM is marketed as a spring fragrance, which is understandable, as the magnolia takes the lead here. However, this is not so relevant for me.
Today would be a day, for example, when I could very well imagine the scent on my skin. Although it is winter, the thermometer showed about 10 degrees today.

The base note develops woody, still bitter green. The sweetness has become even more subtle.
I can sense a hint of chocolate, but probably only because it appears in the pyramid. So, gourmand lovers, you will be disappointed here.

I like the scent and am still happy that I was able to win it thanks to parfumo.

Addendum from the internet: “Magnolia scent inspires the imagination and stimulates creative creation.”

Well then, I’ll spray some........

Speaking of spraying; the longevity is average to good. I only sprayed subtly. That was a good three hours ago, and I can still perceive the scent well. The sillage is rather subtle.

Kissed by Schoooooooookolade....
Actually, I wasn't in the mood to start a new fragrance flirt. I was just going on vacation and didn't really have much money.

To my dismay, I had forgotten my then-signature scent J’adore at home. Well, okay - 20 euros - that was the maximum I could spend on a fragrance flirt from the duty-free shop at the airport...

I asked for Davidoff Cool Water Woman, as I wanted to connect those aquatic notes with the scent of the sea. Well, tough luck. The salesperson wasn't going to let me have that. With that question, I became “Davi-doof” to him.

“Are you crazy!! - Do you want to smell like millions of others! - Come on, Gucci has released a Glamorous line - you should try that and then we’ll talk....”

So I tried... Gardenia was great, but it turned too sweet on my skin.

With Flora Magnolia, I initially sensed a citrus scent, and I love citrus fragrances. Then I detected floral notes.

But I left the store without buying anything... Until...

Suddenly, a fine, extraterrestrial-galactic noble chocolate scent unfolded, paired with angelic peony and sandalwood, which I can't describe.

I was enveloped in the finest fragrance I had ever smelled.

Since vanilla turns too sweet on my skin, this was the perfect counterpart that developed well on my skin.

Unfortunately, the sillage isn't as strong as I would wish. However, I find the longevity of 5 hours to be really good.

What can I say, this fragrance flirt cost me quite a bit. With a budget of 20 euros, I ended up spending 80 euros on a fragrance, but I haven't regretted it to this day.

From this flirt, over the years, a great love for fragrance has developed. I'm soon buying my 5th bottle.

And I thank the salesperson for helping me find this love for fragrance and uniqueness. Because each of us is unique - we just have to dare to be so.

Glow and Glory
First of all - I also love wearing Flora - especially because of its enchanting lightness and romantic floral notes.

Could Glamorous Magnolia keep up with that?
Definitely!

This fragrance shines in glow and glory with bright freesias, green notes, and a tangy fresh citrus peel - right from the start.
Then, the pale pink magnolia blooms in a truly glamorous way, adding a gentle sweetness to the fresh-green entrance.

Another highlight is the fine chocolate, which skillfully merges with the sweetness of the magnolia.

A special fragrance blend that certainly has a glamour factor, yet still presents itself romantically.

My friend gifted me this beautiful fragrance today, which is also fitting for the season - and we admire the elegant magnolias in the garden together.

Incomparable Friend
My precious birthday perfume voucher led me to the perfumery. After a long search, it had to be the very best... Then the discovery: Like a precious treasure, I carried it home. It became a very close confidante, yes, a beloved: the Glamorous Magnolia.

She is a lovely and delicate one, who absolutely lifts the mood with her pleasant character. Her first breath is fresh, a little green, and slightly citrusy. Her indescribable beauty truly shines when she reveals her heart: wonderfully dense magnolia and peony blossoms that radiate in all their glory. A warm, slightly powdery sweetness beautifully rounds off her presence, her completion, allowing her to emanate enjoyment and joy for her admirers for many hours.

My unique friend is neither intrusive, nor kitschy, nor overly sweet. How else can I describe her? ...simply one of a kind and incomparable...
I just can't get enough of her: my Glamorous Magnolia.

Fresh Magnolia :)
To get straight to the point: I always found the original version Flora by Gucci to be really, really terrible. It may sound strange to say this, but my untrained nose detected something very sour, almost rotten, at the end of every breath of this perfume. I’m so sorry for everyone who loves this fragrance. But I just can’t stand it. Now for the good news:
I gave Glamorous Magnolia a chance (especially because its color promised freshness). I love, love, love this scent. And I think I know why by now. Personally, I just don’t like floral fragrances that are simply sweet. However, here the magnolias are combined with wonderful citrus notes, which I personally really enjoy. Moreover, the sweetness of the magnolias is not a sharp sweetness, but rather a delicate, caressing sweetness. This results in a soft, green, fresh, yet warm fragrance that I find very pleasant.

Weak, synthetic fruity-floral without any magnolia that I can smell. A half-strength version of Ferragamo Incanto Charm.

Starts citrusy as a fresh kick, enveloped by magnolias, becomes powdery, and finishes with exquisite chocolate. Exceptional scent addiction factor.

It smells floral to me, like Joy by Dior. Light, not sweet, doesn’t annoy. Unfortunately, no chocolate at all.

Zest of lemon peel, softened magnolias, a bite of crisp dark chocolate with chili filling. Somehow addictive.
