A Little Diva - But a Graceful One
Magda (2021) is a plump beauty. Sweet, sensual, exotic, erotic, and super alluring. A cream bath full of seductive ingredients.

Creamy dark berries, ripe and juicy, almost syrupy, spread over velvety orange blossoms and rich tuberose heads. Tuberose dominates here, but even I really like the tuberose in this fragrance. It has something very attractive.

With a pinch of cinnamon as a fine spice, balsam and amaretto as warming components, creamy sandalwood as a nurturing base, and a hint of vanilla, Magda is a lush but wonderful beauty.

A dab of it behind the ears and on the décolletage is maximally enchanting. In the evening, a little more can be applied.
Magda wraps around you like a velvet cloak, soft, warm, and sensual. Yet she is never vulgar.
Truly a dream of a fragrance, if you like that sort of thing.

Character-wise, it is very close to Datura noir Eau de Parfum - even though this one smells different, they are sisters, for sure.

Magda is more suited for going out, at an evening gathering or on a big day. That’s when she makes her grand entrance; she is made for it.
The woman who wears Magda also wears a dress that accentuates her sensuality.

Magda is a little diva - but a graceful one. When dosed discreetly, she can be worn anytime. I wear her at the office, and she never gets on anyone's nerves.
By the way, my husband finds Magda very attractive. Hearing that from him is almost a miracle.

The Wild Party of Magda
I must confess, this sample of "Magda" is thanks to a late-night spree of purchasing samples that was actually focused on the fragrances from "La Maison de la Vanille." But on that darn website, there were so many interesting brands and scents. And if I'm already paying for shipping, I might as well get a little more.

I only scanned the pyramid of offered and interesting fragrances sleepily with one eye. There was "Magda" by Lubin with over 7 points. In the top notes, there’s cherry and other delicious fruits - the blackcurrant syrup can't be that bad. Gardenia, neroli, and tuberose combined with cinnamon in the heart notes I gladly leave out of enthusiasm. In the base notes, however, there were familiar and pleasant acquaintances like sandalwood and vanilla. I wanted to believe in amaretto only when I see it.

The order arrived quickly. And with all the samples, I could catch a hint of the scents just by opening the cap. With this piece, I was relatively sure in a fraction of a second: Magda and I - we will not be friends. Brave as I am, I tested it not only on a tissue... but also on my skin. But to be completely transparent: it was not my forearm. It was my calf. This is where scents that fall under the usual suspects for headaches and nausea end up. Magda had qualified.

I bravely spray 3 times. The opening is... piercing and somehow woody. And just a few seconds later, "blackcurrant syrup" jumps out at me, holding cinnamon-dusted pom-poms that it waves in my face. It brought along cherry, which has a glass of cough syrup with it. Pomegranate was actually invited but had a backache. And mandarin just peeks around the corner. Maybe it knows who is about to join the party: orange blossom, gardenia, and - my absolute "friend" - tuberose! Mandarin was right... because they are already here. The three expected white flowers appear with such force and volume that the remaining blackcurrant-fruit combo falls silent in shock. Cherry has teamed up with the syrup and is still trying to chime in a bit… I desperately look at the drink menu. There’s amaretto - neat.

After about 1 hour, I struggle with creeping nausea - the headache is already here. I can manage with one of the white flower species. Especially neroli is nice; I got to know it in Italy. And when everyone is in a good mood, I also like gardenia. But tuberose is too loud for me, intrusive, honey-like-sticky, and intoxicating. Moreover, it often brings along its unwashed giant dog named "Tutti Frutti." Tuberose alone already gives me a headache in too high a concentration. And all three together with the rest of this party mix in my nose into a bitter, overly sweet, piercing mush. Unfortunately, the cherry on top doesn't help anymore.

Gradually, the party begins to quiet down a bit. The white flowers are getting tired, while cherry and syrup really turn it up and give sandalwood a grand entrance. I unfortunately never saw vanilla in the chaos of the party.

After about 4-5 hours, I head home exhausted, take a headache tablet with lots of sparkling water, and swear to myself to pay better attention to the guest list next time.

Too simple, linear fruity, nothing special to catch me. A dime a dozen...

The opening is a bit artificial, but Magda evolves into a charming, 90s white floral beauty on a creamy base.

Magda's lush floral dress shines juicy-sweet and lively in cherry red and berry tones, but the polyester-wood lining is a bit scratchy.

Initially quite stingy,

White flowers,

Beautiful, but not

Lush floral Art Nouveau ornaments translated into scent. More striking than naturalistic, with a mysterious atmosphere.

Starts off beautifully warm + cozy, a bit boozy. Dark-fruity, mysterious, creamy, complex - somehow different! :)
