Fresh, clean magnolia bodywash vibes
I understand many might immediately discount a designer fragrance, especially from Paris Hilton. But after watching Paris Hilton's documentary (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOg0TY1jG3w), I have a lot of respect for her - and this is now my favorite of her fragrances that I've tested.
**Bottle**
Pictures make it look alright, but in person it's much worse. Just picking up the tester bottle, my nail caught on the edge of the metal letter and the entire piece lifted. It felt thin, cheap, and fragile - but if you've watched any reviews on this fragrance, you know that already.
**Notes**
Her brand originally claimed this would be an exclusive to her website, and blind-buying is a gamble I'm not often willing to take. Luckily Ulta began carrying it later, so I was able to test in store. To me it's a primarily-floral blend, with a breakdown of:
[60%] ultra-soapy magnolia
[10%] pear blossom (not pear fruit; this is purely green floral)
[10%] lightly-powdery white musk
[20%] raspberry/peach blend (super subtle background players, that give more of a "generic fruity shampoo" vibe than anything distinct)
It's fairly linear when wearing. The fruity notes are more prominent in the opening, then fade quickly to the back for the rest of the wear - but it remains magnolia-forward throughout.
I can't place my finger on it, but I swear I've used a magnolia-based shower gel/body wash before that smelled exactly like this. Could pass for a handsoap too - but I actually really enjoy it. No complexity here, a touch synthetic... but still pleasant, and not trying to be anything more than it is.
Inoffensive, soapy magnolia-forward blend that's perfect for spring, the office, or anywhere you can't quite make up your mind on what to smell like - but still want to feel fresh. Must love magnolia to enjoy!
